| effects of nutrient and temperature on degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated sub-antarctic soil. | mesocosm studies using sub-antarctic soil artificially contaminated with diesel or crude oil were conducted in kerguelen archipelago (49 degrees 21' s, 70 degrees 13' e) in an attempt to evaluate the potential of a bioremediation approach in high latitude environments. all mesocosms were sampled on a regular basis over six months period. soils responded positively to temperature increase from 4 degrees c to 20 degrees c, and to the addition of a commercial oleophilic fertilizer containing n and ... | 2005 | 15686763 |
