“…Similar results were observed in previous studies (Gillet and Ponge, 2003;Cluzeau et al, 2012;Calugar, 2013). On the one hand, the total density of microarthropods is affected by the soil toxicity illustrated by the high toxic units decreasing with the distance to the factory (UT = 3212 and 41 respectively 10 and 140 m from the factory).…”

“…In contrast, in areas of lower contamination ([Pb] b 1000 mg kg −1 ), springtails were more abundant than mites with a distribution of microarthropod groups close to that observed in an open environment, e.g. in farming fields and grasslands (Cluzeau et al, 2012;Winkler and Toth, 2012). The mite community was essentially represented by oribatid mites, which suggests that detritivorous microarthropods (oribatid mites and springtails) were always more abundant than predators regardless of soil pollution levels.…”

“…Detritivorous microarthropods also provide food for predator mites (Cluzeau et al, 2012;Paoletti et al, 2007;Caruso and Migliorini, 2006). Indeed, the positive correlation (R 2 = 0.54) which was observed between the number of predator (gamasid mites) and detritivorous (oribatid mites and springtails) highlights the influence of the trophic level on the distribution of microarthropod communities.…”

This is an author-deposited version published in : http://oatao.univ-toulouse.fr/ Eprints ID : 15976 a b s t r a c tSoil pollution by persistent metal(loid)s present environmental and sanitary risks. While the effects of metal(loid)s on vegetation and macrofauna have been widely studied, their impact on microarthropods (millimetre scale) and their bioaccumulation capacity have been less investigated. However, microarthropods provide important ecosystem services, contributing in particular to soil organic matter dynamics. This study focussed on the impact of metal(loid) pollution on the structure and distribution of microarthropod communities and their potential to bioaccumulate lead (Pb). Soil samples were collected from a contaminated historical site with a strong horizontal and vertical gradient of Pb concentrations. Microarthropods were extracted using the Berlese method. The field experiments showed that microarthropods were present even in extremely polluted soils (30,000 mg Pb kg −1 ). However, while microarthropod abundance increased with increasing soil C/N content (R 2 = 0.79), richness decreased with increasing pollution. A shift in the community structure from an oribatid-to a springtail-dominated community was observed in less polluted soils (R 2 = 0.68). In addition, Pb bioamplification occurred in microarthropods, with higher Pb concentrations in predators than in detritivorous microarthropods. Finally, the importance of feeding and reproductive ecological traits as potentially relevant descriptors of springtail community structures was highlighted. This study demonstrates the interest of microarthropod communities with different trophic levels and ecological features for evaluating the global environmental impact of metal(loid) pollution on soil biological quality.

“…In the future, modern molecular methods could help to achieve monitoring at the species level [Holterman et al 2008;Pérez-Losada et al 2012]. Furthermore, reference systems based on the occurrence and diversity of soil invertebrate communities have been proposed [Beylich and Graefe 2009;Cluzeau et al 2012;Roembke et al 2012;Rutgers et al 2008]. However, there is still room for improvement; mainly due to a lack of data for specific land use types (i.e.…”

After a release of genetically modified organisms, monitoring of potential adverse effects on the environment is mandatory. The protocol used for monitoring should be previously tested in practical studies and must be standardised. Moreover, sampling methods and the evaluation of results must meet current scientific and technical standards. Due to their particular role in maintaining soil quality and in a multitude of ecological processes in agro-ecosystems, soil organisms belong to those groups for which VDI guidelines are being developed. The guideline 4331 Part 1 describes fundamental criteria for the selection and sam- ReSeARCh ARtiCle BioRisk A peer-reviewed open-access journalAndrea Ruf et al. / BioRisk 8: 73-87 (2013) 74 pling of soil organisms for GMO monitoring and gives guidance for sampling design, sampling strategy and statistical evaluation. In the guideline three approaches are followed: (1) a compilation of previously known effects and exposure pathways, (2) a documentation of ecological functions of soil organisms (ecosystem services) as well as (3) a description of characteristic species compositions in the soil. The aim was to develop a selection matrix that helps to choose the appropriate animal groups to be sampled. Besides the habitat type and the ecological relevance, the selection matrix also considers the suitability of animal groups in terms of practical issues and, in specific cases, anticipated effects. Further parts of the guideline 4331 will describe sampling methods for relevant soil animal groups.
