        What is soil ecotoxicology and why it is important for biodiversity and sustainable agriculture?<\/h3><\/div>


        Soil ecotoxicology studies the effects of chemical substances and other stressors on soil organisms, soil functions and ecosystem services. It aims to enable protection of the soil compartment by predicting and assessing the risk of contamination in the environment, by developing and performing tests in the laboratory. Some of the endpoints analyzed are adult survival and reproduction. With the evolution of this field, other indicators were adjusted for risk assessment, such as provision of ecosystem services, modelling, agricultural landscape analysis, local biodiversity, food web. Another aspect of the evolution of the field is the inclusion of modelling to help predict different scenarios.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
