Increases in toxic chemical dissipation makes their control in the environment desirable. Environmental control of these substances requires thorough understanding of the functioning of ecosystems potentially receiving chemical input, and of the behavior and fate of released chemicals. Terrestrial microcosms are useful tools in chemical fate studies; however, critical assessment of their ability to simulate ecosystem processes has been limited. This paper provides a rationale for evaluating the utility of microcosms for prediction of chemical fate in natural ecosystems.
