[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Taken from the abstract of the referenced paper:

Sub-Antarctic islands have been subjected to petroleum hydrocarbon spills, yet no information is available regarding the toxicity of petroleum hydrocarbons to these subpolar soils. The purpose of the present study was to identify soil biogeochemical toxicity end points for petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in Sub-Antarctic soil. ... View entire text

Soil characterisation
Soil from Macquarie Island was collected on March 19, 2003. in a capped, 80.4 x 5.4 cm polyvinyl chloride core and stored at 4 degrees C. The soil was stored in this fashion for approximately 19 months. A storage temperature of 4 degrees C ... View entire text
