Abstract

Nitrate nitrogen promoted good growth of cuneate saltbush (Atriplex cuneatu) and gardner saltbush (A. garz Morris and Gidden 1963). Having been mined from underground and retorted at high temperature, processed oil shale is biologically sterile and thus microbial nitrogen transformations would not occur. An experiment was conducted to determine how two salt tolerant subshrubs from northeastern Utah, cuneate saltbush (Atriplex cuneata) and gardner saltbush (Atriplex gardneri), would respond to nitrate, ammonium, and urea nitrogen added to processed oil shale.
