TLDR
Determination of the soluble lead fraction in soil, and of its bioaccumulation in the saprophagous Armadillidium sordidum (Isopoda) and the predator Ocypus olens (Coleoptera), showed that a significant portion of metallic Pb from spent pellets is bioavailable in the soil and can beBioaccumulated by edaphic organisms, entering the soil trophic network, but without biomagnification.About:

Effects of the accumulation of the rare earth elements on soil macrofauna community
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the effects of rare earth elements (REEs) in the soil on the soil macrofauna community and showed that the accumulation of REEs in soil was significant in the study area and its concentration was strongly correlated with the distance from the pollution source.
