Conteúdo: Over the past two decades, soil ecotoxicologists have made strides in utilizing the basic
concepts and advancements in soil zoology and ecology. They have applied the existing
tools, and developed new ones to investigate how chemical contamination can affect soil
ecosystems, including the degradation or destruction of soil quality and habitats or the
diminishment of belowground biodiversity. Soil ecotoxicologists are applying a suite of
standard protocols, originally developed as laboratory tests with single chemicals (e.g.,
pesticides), and further enhancing both the approaches and protocols for the assessment of
contaminated lands. However, ecological relevance of some approaches remains
unresolved. The authors discuss the main challenges for a coherent ecotoxicological
assessment of soil ecosystems amid contaminated lands, and provide recommendations on
how to integrate the effects of physical and chemical soil properties, the variations in the
diversity of soil invertebrates, and the interactions among organisms of various trophic
levels. The review examines new international approaches and test methods using
examples from three continents (in particular research conducted in Brazil), and provides
recommendations for improving ecological relevance of ecotoxicological investigations
of contaminated lands.
Palavras-Chave: Contamination, ecological relevance, ecological risk assessment, soil pollution, terrestrial
