Abstract
This thesis focused on studies that would contribute important insights into understanding the ecotoxicity guidelines in the hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. In a deeper sense, this thesis outlines how Australian native plants can lead to an improvement in current assessment strategies. However, other studies using earthworms and microorganisms in the same soils also lead the way to future research where an integrated approach using various biological indicators might be more sensitive to unveiling the real toxicity impact of petroleum hydrocarbons in soils.
