摘要

An experimental oil spill field study was conducted in the Point Au Chien Wildlife Managemnet Area in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The goal of the study was to monitor the natural attenuation and the effect of nutrient amendments on crude oil degradation kinetics in a salt marsh. Forty field plots arranged in a randomized block design were used in the study. The treatments were an unoiled control, crude oil alone, crude oil plus inorganic ammonium nitrate, and crude oil plus a slow-release Meister fertilizer. Concentrations of crude oil, porewater nitrogen and the associated oxygen demand of the marsh soil were measured over time. Oil biodegradation kinetics were determined using hopane ratios to calculate losses due to degradation only. Overall, the application of nitrogen had a nonstatistical effect on biodegradation kinetics. ONly a handful of alkanes demonstrated statistically more rapid biodegradation after nitrogen application when assessed using Bonferroni's test. When summed, the crude oil components degraded at the same rate in the oiled control (0.005 day~(-1)) when compared with nutrient amended treatments. A second objective was to understand oxygen dynamics in salt marshes after an oil spill. Oxygen demand in oiled and oiled/fertilized plots was greater than unoiled controls under both flooded and non-flooded conditions. This result suggests that aerobic biodegradation of crude oil is occurring and thus increasing oxygen demand. To confirm this, the relative importance of sulfate reduction as an oxygen sink was investigated using ~(35)SO_4~(2-) radiotracer techniques. Compared to unoiled controls, sulfate reduction rates were stimulated under oiled/fertilized conditions. Apportionment of oxygen demand (i.g., aerobic respiration and sulfate reduction) indicates that a significant portion of oxygen demand is due to aerobic biodegradation of crude oil. The conclusion was that natural attenuation of crude oil components was as effective as nitrogen amendments under field conditions.
