The bioavailability and fate of pesticides in soil are largely influenced by soil's sorption characteristics. Therefore, the adsorption of pesticides, like glyphosate (GBH), onto soil natural organic matter (NOM) was investigated in this study. With the aid of sequential treatment methods of agricultural soil, NOM was modified to yield demineralized m ...

Pesticides and pathogens adversely affect amphibian health, but their interactive effects are not well known. We assessed independent and combined effects of two agricultural herbicides and the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) on the growth, development and survival of larval American toads (Anaxyrus americanus). Wild-caught tadpoles we ...
