MIXCOP–Implementation of a model to assess the time-dependent effects of mixed pesticides on a collembolan populationThe R script implemented will be made available on GitHub

A new simulation model has been created by merging three model approaches, including soil exposure prediction, effect estimation and a population model. • The aim is to use the overall model to better assess the effects of pesticides on soil organisms. • The model is called MIXCOP (pesticide MIXture...

description A new simulation model has been created by merging three model approaches, including soil exposure prediction, effect estimation and a population model. • The aim is to use the overall model to better assess the effects of pesticides on soil organisms. • The model is called MIXCOP (pesticide MIXtures and their effects on a COllembolan Population) and simulates a population of Folsomia candida in a vertical soil column. • MIXCOP allows to calculate a time- and movement-dependent exposure for the individual animals, as well as the resulting effects. Effects on both adult organisms and juvenile organisms are taken into account. The modular structure including the individual assumptions are explained in more detail.
