This study represents a holistic approach in assessing the effects of copper oxide nanoparticles (nCuO) on microbial health and community structure in soil amended with municipal biosolids. The biosolids were amended with nCuO ( less then 50 nm) and mixed into a sandy loam soil at measured Cu concentrations of 27, 54, 123, 265 and 627 mg Cu kg-1 soil. A suite of tests were used to assess the potential impact of nCuO on microbial growth, activity, and diversity. Microbial growth was determined by the heterotrophic plate count (HPC) met
