Vegetation uptake of mercury and impacts on global cycling
Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that emits in large quantities to the atmosphere (> 6,000–
8,000 Mg Hg per year) through anthropogenic activities, biomass burning, geogenic …

A new mechanism for atmospheric mercury redox chemistry: implications for the global mercury budget
Mercury (Hg) is emitted to the atmosphere mainly as volatile elemental Hg 0. Oxidation to
water-soluble Hg II plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems. Here, we implement a …

A vegetation control on seasonal variations in global atmospheric mercury concentrations
Anthropogenic mercury emissions are transported through the atmosphere as gaseous
elemental mercury (Hg (0)) before they are deposited to Earth's surface. Strong seasonality …

New constraints on terrestrial surface–atmosphere fluxes of gaseous elemental mercury using a global database
Despite 30 years of study, gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) exchange magnitude and
controls between terrestrial surfaces and the atmosphere still remain uncertain. We …

A synthesis of mercury research in the Southern Hemisphere, part 1: Natural processes
Recent studies demonstrate a short 3–6-month atmospheric lifetime for mercury (Hg). This
implies Hg emissions are predominantly deposited within the same hemisphere in which …
