Notes

Soil pollution with heavy metals may affect the functioning of the soil biota by inhibiting the decomposition of organic matter and may also influence foodchains. This paper presents the results of an investigation how the reproduction of soil nematodes can be influenced by feeding on bacteria or fungi contaminated with lead and cadmium.
