This review documents recent advances in terrestrial mercury cycling. Terrestrial mercury
(Hg) research has matured in some areas, and is develo** rapidly in others. We …

Environmental archives offer an opportunity to reconstruct temporal trends in atmospheric
Hg deposition at various timescales. Lake sediment and peat have been the most widely …

Soil is the largest Hg reservoir globally. Data of Hg concentration in surface soil are
fundamental to understanding environmental Hg cycling. However, present knowledge on …

Wetlands are highly productive and biologically diverse environments that provide
numerous ecosystem services, but can also be sources of methylmercury (MeHg) production …

The atmosphere is the major transport pathway for distribution of mercury (Hg) globally.
Gaseous elemental mercury (GEM, hereafter Hg 0) is the predominant form in both …

We examined the composition and spatial correlation of sulfur and mercury pools in
peatland soil profiles by measuring sulfur speciation by 1s X-ray absorption near-edge …

Peatlands are sources of bioaccumulating neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg) that is linked to
adverse health outcomes. Yet, the compounding impacts of climate change and reductions …

Soils are the largest terrestrial pool of mercury (Hg), a neurotoxic pollutant. Pathways of Hg
accumulation and loss in forest soils include throughfall, litterfall, soil gas fluxes, and …

Forest fires cause large emissions of C (carbon), N (nitrogen) and Hg (mercury) to the
atmosphere and thus have important implications for global warming (eg via CO2 and N2O …

Soils represent the single largest mercury (Hg) reservoir in the global environment,
indicating that a tiny change of Hg behavior in soil ecosystem could greatly affect the global …
