Abstract:Abstract. Plant foliage plays an essential role in accumulating mercury (Hg) from the
atmosphere and transferring it to soils in terrestrial ecosystems, and
many studies have focused on forested ecosystems. Hg input from plants to
northern peatland peat soils has not been nearly as well studied and is
likely equally important from a mass balance perspective. In this study, we
investigated the accumulation of atmospheric Hg by the dominant plant
species, few-seeded sedge (Carex oligosperma Michx.), wire sedge (… Show more
