ABSTRACT

It is difficult to directly evaluate the efficacy of phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants embedded in deep soil layers, especially if the contaminants are of relatively low concentration and are unevenly distributed. This report describes the greenhouse and laboratory experiments carried out to evaluate a field demonstration project. A trisector planter was designed to simulate field conditions, including soil profiles and field management of the trees selected. The third or bottom section of the planter was spiked with known quantities of 6 diesel-fuel components ...
