The environmental cycling of mercury (Hg) can be affected by natural and anthropogenic
perturbations. Of particular concern is how these disruptions increase mobilization of Hg …

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

With increasing input of neurotoxic mercury to environments as a result of anthropogenic
activity, it has become imperative to examine how mercury may enter biotic systems through …

In natural environments, inorganic mercury (Hg 2+) can be converted to the neurotoxin
methylmercury (MeHg) mainly via the microbial Hg methylation process with anaerobic …

An unknown fraction of mercury that is deposited onto the cryosphere is emitted back to the
atmosphere. Since mercury that enters the meltwater may be converted to highly toxic …

Permafrost thaw may increase the production of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in
northern peatlands, but the downstream delivery of MeHg is uncertain. We quantified total …

Stable isotope compositions of mercury (Hg) were measured in the outlet stream and in soil
cores at different landscape positions in a 9.7-ha boreal upland-peatland catchment. An …

This study aims to provide numerous environmental research approaches to understand the
formation of mineral and organic mercury compounds in self-heating coal waste dumps of …

A series of severe droughts during the course of a long‐term, atmospheric sulfate‐
deposition experiment in a boreal peatland in northern Minnesota created a unique …

Mercury (Hg) input into ecosystems is estimated to have increased by twofold to fivefold
since the industrial revolution. In aquatic ecosystems, methylmercury (MeHg) receives the …
