| Summary: | 28% TPH remaining while alternately flooded mesocosms 41 d of experimentation during summer. Max Bac and P applied and 40 kg P ha-' did not enhance oil degradation in at 100 kg N ha-] and 40 kg P ha-I enhanced oil degradation averaged 49%. Bacterial seeding proved ineffective in compared to 8% of the applied N03-N. Further studies may be continuously flooded mesocosms during winter (temperature continuously or alternately flooded mesocosms during the 40 d crude oil degradation in salt marsh mesocosms containing during 33 d of experimentation during spring (temperature during spring but not during summer. The use of 15 N effects of N and P fertilization and bacterial seeding on enhance oil degradation during 82 d of experimentation in enhancing oil degradation. Five commercial bioremediation Glasshouse experiments were conducted to determine the in natural field conditions. marsh soil and Spartina alterniflora. Fertilization with Max Bac and Inipol, enhanced oil degradation more than other N fertilizers applied with P. During summer (temperature needed to assess the effectiveness of N and P fertilization of experimentation. Continuously flooded mesocosms averaged or without N significantly enhanced oil degradation during products did not enhance oil degradation compared to range of 17 - 30'C). Phosphorus applied at 40 kg P ha-' with range of 27 - 42'C), Max Bac and P applied at 100 kg N ha-' range of 27 42'C) or in alternately flooded mesocosms during receiving P. Two slow-release fertilizers containing N and P, techniques during winter revealed that approximately 23% of the applied urea-N and NH4-N was taken up by S. alterniflora total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) remaining in mesocosms uninoculated controls in continuously flooded mesocosms urea, NH4, and N03 applied at 75 or 150 kg N ha-1 did not while 57% of the applied TPH remained in the treatment not winter. Phosphorus applied alone led to 46% of the applied |
