Effect of forest fire on mercury content in soddy podburs of typical forest-steppe environments (Voronezh region, Russia)

The influence of forest fire on the gross mercury content in soddy podburs formed in typical forest­steppe conditions is studied. The metal concentration in the soils of the control area not affected by the fire is 0.063 ± 0.045 mg/kg at a depth of 0–10 cm, compared to 0.041 ± 0.008 mg/kg in soils o...
