Abstract Title: Methylmercury Distribution in Soil and Litter from the Amazonian Rainforest (Brazil) and its Removal by Forest Fire

Abstract Information :

Although a growing set of evidence had shown the importance of tropical forests in the global mercury (Hg) cycle, Hg in soils and vegetation from the Amazonian rainforest has still been poorly studied specifically for methyl-mercury (MeHg). The aim of this work was then to determine total [THg] and [MeHg] concentrations in litter and surface soil, MeHg deposition by litterfall and MeHg removal due to forest fire in the Amazonian Forest. Data were obtained from a prescribed fire experiment performed in the western Amazon (8ø45'1"S; 63ø27'20"" W) (Rond“nia state
