Impacts of carbon nanomaterials on the diversity of microarthropods in turfgrass soil

Abstract Nanoscale materials have been produced with unprecedented speed due to their widespread use, and they may eventually be released into the environment. As effective adsorbents for heavy metals, carbon nanomaterials can be used to immobilize metals in contaminated soil, but little information...

description	Abstract Nanoscale materials have been produced with unprecedented speed due to their widespread use, and they may eventually be released into the environment.
