- Method / resource Microcosms were a more effective tool than flower pots for forecasting phytotoxicity of fly ash on plants.
- Method / resource Microcosms predicted element uptake in field-grown alfalfa as well as flower pots did in the first growing season.
- Recommendation Statistical analyses support using the microcosms as a test device to develop crop yield dose-response curves.
- Recommendation Statistical analyses support using the microcosms to assess disruption of nutrient cycling processes.
