Changes in soil moisture and temperature modify the toxicity of sodium selenite and sodium selenate for Folsomia candida (Collembola) Willem 1902

Effects of sublethal concentrations of selenite and selenate were tested on parameters of mortality, reproduction, growth, and oxidative stress parameters of Folsomia candida (Collembola) in case of different climate scenarios. The standard 20°C and the increased 25°C temperatures were combined with three different soil moisture conditions: drought, standard water content and increased water content.
