Springer - Biogeochemical Cycle of Mercury in Wujiang River

Explore a detailed scientific study on the mercury cycle within the Wujiang River Basin, a key part of the upper Yangtze River. Published by Springer, this book provides an intensive look at how mercury moves through complex river-reservoir systems in Southwest China. Researchers from the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, conducted this study to track mercury concentrations and distribution. The research covers six specific reservoirs located in the Wujiang River mainstream, along with their corresponding inflow and outflow rivers. By examining the water column, sediment, sediment pore water, and wet deposition, this work offers essential data for understanding environmental chemistry in these vital ecosystems. This text serves as a valuable resource for scientists and students studying aquatic geochemistry and environmental monitoring.
