Rhizospere effects on microbial community structure and dissipation and toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in spiked soil
Article Abstract:
Ryegrass and clover are grown in soil exposed to chrysene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, and anthracene and the fungi arbuscular mycorrhizas to determine the effectiveness of the phytoremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Soil measurements are graphed for toxicity with and without plants, and with and without the fungi, over a period of sixteen weeks.

Dissipation and distribution of herbicides in a fluventic hapludoll soil
Article Abstract:
A study of the dissipation and distribution behavior of atrazine and alachlor, two widely-used herbicides, in a fluvial hapludoll soil showed that the dissipation and distribution behavior is not correlated with the farming practice on the surface. The 15 dissipation curves for atrazine showed a first-order exponential decay rate constant of 0.02/d, while the 25 dissipation curves for alachlor showed a decay rate constant of 0.04/d.
