Pollutant Effects on Microbial Communities Threaten Ecosystem Biodiversity and Functions in A... Since the early 2000s, ecotoxicological studies (including "microbial ecotoxicology") have progressively moved toward experimental designs that better assess and predict the ecological risks of a given chemical stressor under realistic environmental conditions. However, assessing and predicting the consequences of legacy pollutants or pollutants of emerging concerns on ecosystem functions and services remains a challenge because multiple stressors proceed simultaneously on complex interconnected biological communities.
