摘要
The minimum significant difference (MSD) at the no observed effect concentration (NOEL) is required in many guidelines for standardised ecotoxicological tests. A method is given to calculate the MSD if non-parametric pair-wise comparison of each concentration with the control is used to determine the NOEC. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
