Abstract
The effects of oil pollution on the germination and vegetative growth of five species of vascular plants were investigated. The species were Festuca rubra, Poa pratensis, Phleum commutatum, Agrostis tenuis and Trifolium repens. The test oil was a mixed water-in-oil (1 : 1) emulsion with oil fractions from the Statfjord field in the North Sea. Oil pollution corresponding to 0.11 m−3 (oil-emulsion) has no negative effect on germination, except for T. repens where germination is reduced. Larger oil quantities have a considerable negative effect on germination frequency and vegetative growth, also the germination process is delayed. A positive effect of oil pollution (0.11 m−2) is observed on the vegetative growth of T. repens and the germination frequency of F. rubra.
