The heterogeneous physico-chemical properties of soil make it difficult to normalize the toxicological effects of metals in the Collembolan species Paronychiurus kimi (Lee). Furthermore, the physico-chemical properties of soil themselves can function as limiting factors that affect population fitnes...
