In recent decades, concerns about the environmental impacts of residues and contaminants in soil have driven the growth of studies in terrestrial ecotoxicology. The Santa Catarina State University (UDESC) has stood out in this field, developing research focused on evaluating the effects of different residues on soil organisms. This study provides a ten-year retrospective of UDESC’s contributions, systematically cataloging publications that report soil ecotoxicological assays by UDESC-affiliated researchers. With the aim of identifying the main types of residues and materials studied, the advances achieved, and the existing gaps.Through a systematic survey, publications involving soil ecotoxicological assays conducted by researchers affiliated with UDESC were cataloged and analyzed. The results reveal a broad thematic scope, with a predominance of studies on agricultural pesticides and veterinary pharmaceuticals. However, the portfolio lacks investigations into animal-derived pyrolyzed residues (e.g., biochar and ashes), underscoring the need for further research in this area.
