Project description
In this project, we will address a critical research need in ecotoxicology. Via growth experiments and geneactivity- profiling, we aim to understand the biological mechanisms behind organism-specific differences in vulnerability to combined effects of chemical pollution and climate change. The project will significantly contribute to climate-adaptation: adjusting processes of chemical safety management to the reality of climate change.
