Phytoremediation of the Oil Sands

 Phytoremediation of the Oil Sands
 
 
Abstract: This project used Mycorrhizal inoculated soybean plants as a means of phytoremediation in the Alberta Oil sands. The plants were grown in tailing sands soil, to determine if the mycorrhizal addition allowed growth in the barren soil, and remediation of the hydrocarbons in the soil. The addition of the mycorrhizal fungus increased the growth in the soybean plants allowing them to remediate the soil
