Carbon dynamic in sandy soil artificially contaminated with petroleum in the presence of various forms of inorganic nitrogen for bioremediation

The aim of this study was to investigate the interactive effects of the concomitant use of petroleum and nitrogen forms on carbon dynamics, and ascertain the effect of the sandy soil characteristics on its process. The experiments were done in the factorial form (3 × 4) and the completely random for...
