Microbial communities in organic substrates used for oil sands reclamation and their link to boreal seedling growth
DownloadFall 2012
Soil reconstruction in the Athabasca oil sands region utilises forest floor and peat materials as surface organic amendments to help reclaim decommissioned mine sites to upland boreal forests. The objective of this study was to characterize the microbial community in these two organic materials,...
