The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the northern Gulf of Mexico represents the largest marine
accidental oil spill in history. It is distinguished from past spills in that it occurred at the …

The far‐reaching impacts of livestock grazing in terrestrial grasslands are widely
appreciated, but how livestock affect the structure and functions of sensitive coastal …

This study investigates the potential of an indigenous estuarine microbial consortium to
degrade two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), naphthalene and fluoranthene …

Exploiting synergism between plants and microbes offers a potential means of remediating
soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs). Salinity alters the physicochemical …

Microbial communities play an important role in the biodegradation of organic pollutants in
sediments, including hydrocarbons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response of …

Crude oil could affect certain critical microbial processes of nitrogen cycling (N-cycling) in
coastal sediments, and disturb the nitrogen balance. However, the understanding of the …

Contributed by an international team of authors, this book assesses the current state of the
science and application of phytotechnologies around the globe, and overviews major …

Estuaries are sinks for various anthropogenic contaminants, such as petroleum
hydrocarbons, giving rise to significant environmental concern. The demand for organisms …

Bioremediation potential for buried oil removal, an application still lacking thorough
research, was assessed in a specifically designed system in which an artificially …

Degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in colonized and un-colonized sediments by salt
marsh plants Juncus maritimus and Phragmites australis collected in a temperate estuary …
