Short summary

Mercury biogeochemistry in forest-wetland-lake ecosystems

Photodegradation of methyl mercury (MeHg) in boreal lakes – the missing link to complete forest-wetland-lake ecosystem cycling budgets of MeHg


PI: Ulf Skyllberg Co-PI: Erik Bjön (Umeå University), Andrea G. Bravo (Spanish National Research Council), Anders Lindfors (Finnish Meteorological Institute)
