Dissolved gaseous mercury in peat porewater increases as trophic status decreases

Peatlands are long-term sinks of mercury (Hg) and hotspots of neurotoxic methyl-Hg production. Dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM or Hg0aq) is a key component in peatland Hg cycling due to its high volatilization and potential oxidation to HgII, the precursor of neurotoxic methyl-Hg (MeHg). Despite the ... View More
