Description

Examine methylation of mercury in a west-east gradient in southern Sweden to cover a natural sulfur-deposition gradient. Peat samples were taken at a depth of 5-30 cm below the surface between May 15 and June 12 in 2003.

Peat soil and porewater samples were collected during the summer of 2003 to describe methylationprocesses in peatlands across a natural sulfate deposition gradient.
