Interactions between snow chemistry, mercury inputs and microbial population dynamics in an Arctic snowpack.

We investigated the interactions between snowpack chemistry, mercury (Hg) contamination and microbial community structure and function in Arctic snow. Snowpack chemistry (inorganic and organic ions) including mercury (Hg) speciation was studied in samples collected during a two-month field study in...
