摘要:随着化学物质在农业生态系统中的广泛使用,单纯的化学分析方法已经不能真实地判别出其是否会对环境产生不利影响,因此,建立有效的生物评价体系就显得尤为重要。蚯蚓广泛分布于土壤中,其生物标志物的变化对化学物质污染能起到早期监测预警作用,已经被广泛用于土壤生态系统的监测中。笔者对蚯蚓生物标志物在土壤生态系统监测中的应用进行了介绍和评述。

Abstract:With the widespread use of chemical substances in agricultural ecosystems, pure chemical analysis methods cannot truly distinguish whether they will have adverse effects on the environment, so it is particularly important to establish an effective biological evaluation system. Earthworms are widely distributed in the soil. The changes of their biomarkers can play an early monitoring and warning role in chemical pollution, and therefore they have been frequently used in monitoring soil ecosystems. In this paper, the application of earthworm biomarkers in soil ecosystem monitoring was introduced and reviewed.
