Brief description

Field samples were collected from the Main Power House at Macquarie Island - coordinates.... The soil sample used for the respirometer trial was made up as a composite of 8 cores, namely: MPH1, MPH3, MPH4, MPH5, MPH7, MPH8 and MPH9. Each core was analysed for petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) at 0.05 m intervals. Intervals containing between 2500 and 5000 mg/kg PHC were then combined into a bulked sample used in the respirometer test. The sample was homogenised by placing all the soil (4.5 kg) into a large mixing bowl and stirring with a flat stirrer.

The respirometer experiment was conducted by Jim Walworth and Andrew Pond at the University of Arizona. The objective was to optimise the nutrient status for microbial degradation of PHC's.

The respirometer used was an N-Con closed system, with 24 flasks. There were 5 treatments and a control, each run in quadriplate. The control was unammended while treatments were 125, 250, 375, 500, and 625 mg nitrogen/kg of soil (on a dry soil weight basis).

Chemical analysis details........Sample Extraction
A 0.5mL volume of internal standard solution containing a mixture of compounds (cyclo-octane at c.1000mg/L, d8-naphthalene at 100mg/L, p-terphenyl at 100 mg/L and 1-bromoeicosane at 1000mg/L) dissolved in hexane, was pipetted onto the soil with a calibrated positive displacement pipette.
