Plankton community responses to environmentally-relevant agrochemical mixtures
, , and
Nitrate-copper mix within legal limits resulted on higher zooplankton abundance by the end of the experiment. It is explained by nutrient enhancement what may counterbalance the copper toxicity on zooplankton, most likely increasing phytoplankton availability. Consequently, studies on assumed safe toxicant mixtures are needed as subtle effects can have relevant consequences on communities.
