In situ degradation of oil in a soil of the boreal region of the Northwest Territories
Replicate field plots comprising a control: control plus oil: control plus oil and fertilizer (urea phosphate. 27:27:0); control plus oil and bacteria: and control plus oil, fertilizer, and bacteria were established at Norman Wells, N.W.T., Canada. Plots were monitored over a 3-year period for chang...
