Earthworms and Soil Pollutants [PDF]
Sensors, 2011 Although the toxicity of metal contaminated soils has been assessed with various bioassays, more information is needed about the biochemical responses, which may help to elucidate the mechanisms involved in metal toxicity. We previously reported that the

Nanomaterials as Soil Pollutants [PDF]
, 2018 This chapter covers how engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) may enter soils, how they behave in soils, the exposure dynamics this presents to soil organisms, and resulting issues for uptake and food-chain transfer. Special attention is given to summarizing the main issues and the current state of the art for the most important elements of how ENMs act as ...

Gammaproteobacteria, a core taxon in the guts of soil fauna, are potential responders to environmental concentrations of soil pollutants. [PDF]
Microbiome, 2021 Background The ubiquitous gut microbiotas acquired from the environment contribute to host health. The gut microbiotas of soil invertebrates are gradually assembled from the microecological region of the soil ecosystem which they inhabit, but little is ...
