The effect of leaching on the joint toxicity of a complex metal mixture to Folsomia candida in relation to bioavailability in soil

Data files on cadmium, copper, lead and zinc concentrations in soil, H2O- and CaCl2-extracts of soil and in springtails exposed to complex mixtures of chloride salts of these metals, before and after leaching the soil to remove the chloride counterion. Also included are data on the effects of the metals, single and in mixtures on the survival, growth and reproduction of the springtails.
