A novel ecological risk assessment method of potentially toxic elements based on soil nematode communities

Geoderma
Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil near coal mines threaten soil biota, ecosystem stability, and human health. Soil nematodes, which quickly respond to environmental changes, are reliable biological indicators of PTEs contamination.
