Abstract:Soil stores a large amount of mercury (Hg) that has adverse
effects
on human health and ecosystem safety. Significant uncertainties still
exist in revealing environmental drivers of soil Hg accumulation and
predicting global Hg distribution owing to the lack of field data
from global standardized analyses. Here, we conducted a global standardized
field survey and explored a holistic understanding of the multidimensional
environmental drivers of Hg accumulation in global surface soils.
