Abstract

The effect of bacterial-humus preparations on the biological activity of soils contaminated with diesel fuel was studied. The influence of the preparations was judged from the intensity of the CO2 emissions from the soil, the total number of bacteria, and the structure of the saprotrophic bacterial complex. The ability of bacterial-humus preparations to enhance the biological activity of contaminated soils was shown. The possibility of maintaining target populations of bacteria in the soil for at least two months was proved.
