Functional measures as potential indicators of down-the-drain chemical stress in freshwater ecological risk assessment Open
Conventional ecological risk assessment (ERA) predominately evaluates the impact of individual chemical stressors on a limited range of taxa, which are assumed to act as proxies to predict impacts on freshwater ecosystem function. However,…
