Interactions of Atmospheric Elemental Mercury with Vegetation and Soils

该项目将调查控制大气、土壤和植被之间汞通量的过程。植物暴露室将用于开发数据，用于模拟林分与大气汞相互作用在汞的生物地球化学循环中的作用。中观研究将用于研究多尺度的土壤通量。这项工作对于了解植物在大气和陆地系统之间汞的生物地球化学交换中的作用具有重要意义。

This project will investigate the processes controlling mercury (Hg) fluxes between the atmosphere and soils and vegetation. Plant exposure chambers will be used to develop data for modeling the role of forest stand interactions with atmospheric Hg in the biogeochemical cycle of Hg. Mesocosm studies will be used to study soil flux on multiple scales. This effort is important for understanding the role of plants in the biogeochemical exchange of Hg between the atmosphere and terrestrial systems.
