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.

Avian feathers as a non-destructive bio-monitoring tool of trace metals signatures: A case study from severely contaminated areas

TL;DR: The bioaccumulation ratios in eggs and feathers of the cattle egret, their prey, and the sediments from their foraging habitats, confirmed that avian feathers are a convenient and non-destructive sampling tool for the metal contamination.

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.

Trace Elements in Terrestrial Environments: Biogeochemistry, Bioavailability, and Risks of Metals

TL;DR: In this article, biogeochemical processes are used to regulate metal behavior and regulate the bioavailability of trace metals, and risk assessment and management in metal-contaminated sites.
