Within a single site in the Kohala Forest Reserve, Hawai`i, we examined the composition and diversity of soil microbial communities under four introduced (Cryptomeria japonica, Casuarina equisetifolia, Araucaria columnaris, and Eucalyptus sp.) and one native (Metrosideros polymorpha) canopy tree species, as well as pasture. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of ...

Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are toxic pollutants which persist in the environment. Extraction of polycyclic requires large volumes organic solvents, but use non-hazardous solvents provides a potentially cleaner approach to quantifying environmental matrices. Here we investigated efficiency eucalyptus oil extract from spiked soil and sediment. Eucalyptus extraction conditions inclu...
