Gives a comprehensive study on the biogeochemical processes of mercury in a river reservoir system in China
Provides fundamental data concerning the status Hg contamination in river-reservoir ecosystem in Wujiang River Basin, Southwest China
Demonstrates that the Hg biogeochemical dynamics in reservoirs in Southwestern China are different from reservoirs in Europe and North America
