- Title
SWITCHING LIFE-HISTORY SENSITIVITIES TO STRESS IN SOIL INVERTEBRATES.
- Authors
Kammenga, J. E.; Van Gestel, C. A. M.; Hornung, E.
- Abstract
The article presents a study that explores whether organisms exposed to anthropogenic pollutants are more sensitive to other environmentally induced life-cycle changes than prior to exposure. It examines the contributions of vital rates to l under different pollutant concentrations since many soil organisms are continuously exposed to pollutants in the field. The results imply that exposure to toxic compounds increases the sensitivity of organisms to stressors.
