Response of the Native Springtail Parisotoma insularis to Diesel Fuel–Contaminated Soils Under Field‐Realistic Exposure Conditions at Subantarctic Macquarie Island
ABSTRACT A number of sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons from past fuel spills are currently undergoing remediation on subantarctic Macquarie Island (under the jurisdiction of Tasmania, Australia). To assess the environmental risks these spills pose, and to establish remediation targets and...

To examine the response of naturally occurring soil invertebrate communities to fuel contamination, intact soil cores from a range of soil types were collected along an organic carbon (OC) gradient.
