... The overall objectives of the study were threefold: 1) To detail the physical effects of crude oil spills in black spruce forests of interior Alaska emphasizing the mode of transport, area of impact vs. time and effects on the active layer and underlying permafrost; 2) To determine the fate of petroleum contaminants once spilled in subarctic terrestrial environments; 3) To evaluate the effects of crude oil spills on vegetation. ...
