Kinetics and Microbial Population Dynamics of Leaf-Biostimulated Crude Oil Bioremediation in Contrasting Soils
Crude oil contamination remains a persistent environmental burden in petroleum-producing regions, and low-cost, locally sourced plant-leaf biostimulants offer a promising route to accelerate hydrocarbon-degrading microbial activity in impacted soils. This study evaluated the bacterial and fungal population dynamics a...
