“…In fact, both properties were positively related in the set of soils tested, but the correlation was marginally not significant (Pearson, p ¼ 0.059). The positive influence of moisture on reproduction and avoidance found in our study confirms data from literature, indicating that reproduction in OECD soil decreases below 50% of the WHC and even can cease below 30% of the WHC [25,26]. However, in very wet soils, above 75% of the WHC, a strong decrease of reproduction has also been observed [24].…”

Nineteen Mediterranean natural soils with a wide range of properties and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) artificial soil were used to assess the influence of soil properties on the results of avoidance and reproduction tests carried out with the soil collembolan species Folsomia candida. Compared to natural soils, the OECD soil was mostly rejected by individuals when a natural soil was offered in avoidance tests, and the number of offspring produced was generally lower than the one obtained in natural soils. None of the soil properties assessed showed a significant influence on the avoidance behavior. More precisely, only soil moisture was included in the model explaining the avoidance response (avoidance increased with increasing differences in moisture), but its contribution was marginally not significant. The model derived explained only 16% of the variance in avoidance response. On the contrary, several soil properties significantly influenced reproduction (number of offspring increased with increasing moisture content, increasing coarse texture, and decreasing nitrogen content). In this case, the model explained 45% of the variance in reproduction. These results, together with the fact that most of the selected soils fulfilled the validity criteria in both avoidance and reproduction tests, confirm the literature experience showing that this species is relatively insensitive to soil properties and hence highly suitable to be used in ecotoxicological tests with natural soils. In addition, our study highlights the need for accuracy in soil moisture adjustment in soil ecotoxicological tests with this species. Otherwise, results of both avoidance and reproduction tests might be biased.

“…Springtails are also suitable for ecotoxicological testing due to their presence in all types of soil and their importance to soil biology. They are a!ected by human-induced changes both mechanical and chemical (Stork and Eggleton, 1992) and are exposed to toxins via the epidermis, ventral tube (water uptake), or gut via food; however, it is not clear which uptake routes are the most important (Bruus Pedersen et al, 1997).…”

“…The pH itself may have an effect on the survival of the individuals but this connection is not revealed in detail [46]. Pedersen et al [47] investigated copper toxicity on Folsomia candida on different pH values. Even on acidic pH and total Cu concentration one order of magnitude higher than in the soil after red mud disaster, the mortality of adult Collembola was as high as in the present experiment.…”

A soil column experiment was set up to investigate the effect of red mud from Ajka (Hungary) on a typical soil profile from the concerned area. The chemical changes caused by the leachate of the red mud and the effects of these changes on living organisms were assessed. Ecotoxicological tests with Vibrio fischeri, Sinapis alba and Folsomia candida were performed and the number of aerobic heterotrophic microorganisms was determined. The total, plant available, exchangeable and water soluble fractions of Na, Mo, Cu, and Cr increased in the soil mostly due to their leaching from the red mud layer and partly to the increase of the pH and DOC concentration. The chemical changes had significant effects on the test organisms only in the 0 -30 cm soil layer except for F. candida that had a lower survival rate also in the 30 -50 cm soil layer. There were no severe toxic effects detected on the test organisms. Furthermore in case of the aerobic heterotrophic cell number and S. alba germination a stimulating effect was revealed. However, the red mud itself was toxic, therefore the performed ecotoxicology tests have justified the removal of red mud from the soil surface after the disaster.
