Abstract

Background, Aims and Scope Variability of results from terrestrial ecotoxicological tests with arthropods demonstrate the importance of understanding the impact of soil composition has on the bioavailability of pollutants. Beside other soil parameters, the organic C content is known to be relevant to bioavailability. The aim of the present paper was to detect lethal and sublethal effects of plant protection products on soil-dwelling larvae of the carabid beetle Poecilus cupreus under different concentrations of soil organic C. The study was based on a familiar laboratory test method.
