Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7268674· OSTI ID:7268674
Data are reported on the cycling of /sup 36/Cl-labeled DDT in an old field ecosystem. Data are included on the content of DDT retained in samples of soil, plants, invertebrates, and tissues of small mammals. The body burden of DDT in both earthworms and slugs decreased during the six-year period whereas that of isopods increased, indicating that the food chain sources of the compound differ among soil invertebrates.
