Abstract:This work consists of the evaluation of potential toxicity levels to earthworms (Eisenia andrei) related to soil salinization in scenario of sea level rise in the Jacarepaguá coastal plain (RJ). The most vulnerable soil classes to salinization were identified with the support of geotechnologies, and two of them were selected to be salinized with sea water. Mortality and avoidance bioassays with E. andrei were applied to the soils. Soil characterization was performed to support the interpretation of bioassays d… Show more
