Forests mediate the biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) between the atmosphere and
terrestrial ecosystems; however, there remain many gaps in our understanding of these …

Mercury (Hg) and especially its methylated species (MeHg) are toxic chemicals that
contaminate humans via the consumption of seafood. The most recent UNEP Global …

Organisms have developed their internal biochemistry in close connection to the
composition of the natural environment. Humans, as well as all mammals, unlike …

ScheuhammerCONTENTS16. 1 Introduction …

With contributions from more than 75 international experts, this second edition focuses on
toxic substances and how they affect ecosystems worldwide. It presents methods for …

We used unique mesocosms to examine the role that plants play in accumulating and
transforming atmospheric Hg. Several stands of quaking aspen were grown in large gas …

It is increasingly becoming known that mercury transport and speciation in the terrestrial
environment play major roles in methyl-mercury bioaccumulation potential in surface water …

Despite 30 years of study, gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) exchange magnitude and
controls between terrestrial surfaces and the atmosphere still remain uncertain. We …

Centuries of anthropogenic releases have resulted in a global legacy of mercury (Hg)
contamination. Here we use a global model to quantify the impact of uncertainty in Hg …

Incident radiation has been reported to facilitate mercury release from soils. In this study the
influence of light on mercury emissions from substrates amended with pure synthetic …
