| Abstract | A field study was initiated in December 2000 in two selected sub-Antarctic soils (Kerguelen Archipelago) with the objective of determining the long-term effects of a fertilizer addition on the degradation rate and the toxicity of oil residues under severe sub-Antarctic conditions. Two soils were selected. The first site was an organic soil supporting an abundant vegetal cover while the second one was a mineral soil, free from vegetation. Both soils were located in the vicinity of the permanent station of Port-aux-Français (69°42′E−49°19′S). Two series of five experimental plots (0.75 × 0.7 5 m) were settled firmly into each of the studied soils. Each plot received 500 ml of diesel fuel or Arabian light crude oil and some of them were treated with a bioremediation agent: the slow release fertilizer Inipol EAP-22® (Elf Atochem). All plots were sampled on a regular basis over a 4-year period. The microbial response was improved by bioremediation treatments but fertilizer addition had a greater impact on the mineral soil when compared to the organic one. The rate of degradation was significantly improved by bioremediation treatments. However, even after 4 years, the toxicity of oiled soils as determined by Microtox solid phase tests showed a persistent response in spite of an apparent significant degradation of alkanes and aromatics. Despite the very small amount of contaminant used in this experiment, 4 years of bioremediation was not sufficient to obtain a complete return to pristine conditions |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
