Abstract
A high‐speed centrifugation method for obtaining several milliliters of soil pore water is described. The representativeness of the obtained pore water was assessed by carrying out toxicological tests in soil and isolated pore water using the springtail Folsomia candida as test organism. It was found that effects observed in both media were similar.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
