ABSTRACT Upland soil placed in small excavated holes in an oiled mangrove forest was found to be markedly superior to adjacent oiled soil as a medium for growing Rhizophora mangrove propagules and seedlings, even though the oil from the 1986 spill had weathered to the extent that it caused no mortality in planted propagules. The low value of oiled soil was not ameliorated by fertilizer. The inferior value of the oiled mangrove soil compared to upland soil appears to derive from the nature of old Rhizophora mangrove peat as a poor substrate for growth of young seedlings, rather than to residual oil toxicity. Planting of propagules in upland soil in the field was substantially less expensive than growing and planting out nursery plants.
