  1. The distance from the smelter, soil pH, organic matter content at ~10 cm depth (OM %), and metal concentrations [mg kg−1 dwt.]: total concentrations in soil (normal font) and concentrations in earthworm tissue (italics), are shown; mean ± SD (soil: n = 3; earthworms: n = 3–6). Some of the data in the table were obtained from [66]
