Formation and mobilization of methylmercury across natural and experimental sulfur deposition gradients

SND-ID: SND 1155

Creator/Principal investigator(s)

Staffan Åkerblom - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences orcid

Description

Examine methylation of mercury in a west-east gradient in southern Sweden to cover a natural sulfur-deposition gradient. Peat samples were taken at a depth of 5-30 cm below the surface between May 15 and June 12 in 2003.
