Abstract/Summary:
A mathematical model was developed to predict total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) degradation in an oilspill impacted inter-tidal wetland system. The whole system was divided into four individual components/compartments, i.e., plant biomass (macrophyte), water column, sediment and rest of the external environment. Thirteen state variables including macrophyte biomass, macrophyte internal nutrients (N...
