BS EN ISO 18311:2018 specifies a technique for determining the effects of anthropogenic impacts
(e.g. substances) in the context of the prevailing environmental conditions on the feeding activity of soil
organisms in the field. In addition, the use of this method for monitoring the biological quality of soil is
described (see Annex A). The breakdown of organic matter by soil invertebrates and microorganisms
is a crucial process that determines important soil functions such as nutrient availability for plants and
the maintenance of soil fertility. In addition, decomposing plant litter provides habitats and food for a
wide range of organisms, thus supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services [33][34].This International Standard is applicable to all soils in which soil organisms are active. The use of the
bait-lamina test is independent from whether there is a litter layer or not. The sampling design of field
studies in general is specified in ISO 23611-6 (see also Reference [20]). The design can vary according
to the aim of the study as well as conditions (e.g. soil properties, contamination, etc.) of the site to be
investigated.This International Standard is not applicable for semi-terrestrial or very shallow soils. It can be difficult
to use it under extreme climatic or geographical conditions (e.g. in high mountains).Cross References:ISO 11074ISO 23611-6ISO 19204ISO 11461ISO 11277ISO 11268-3ISO 11274ISO 15799ISO 11268-2ISO 10694ISO 10390ISO 13878ISO 11465ISO 11272Incorporates the following:Corrigendum, March 2018
