Summary Cultures were used to test the impact of environmental factors on clones of testate amoebae. Morphological changes in the shell are of particular interest in this field of research. An image-analysis system was used to measure shells of Trinema lineare and Cyclopyxis kahli. Application of lime or mineral fertilizer, used in forestal restabilization, caused — directly or indirectly — significant changes in shell morphology of C. kahli (ANOVA, P
