Role of organic matter and microbial communities in mercury retention and methylation in sediments near run-of-river hydroelectric dams
(Elsevier, 2021-02-06)
Run-of-river power plants (RoRs) are expected to triple in number over the next decades in Canada. These struc-tures are not anticipated to considerably promote the mobilization and transport of mercury (Hg) and its ...
Understanding food web mercury accumulation through trophic transfer and carbon processing along a river affected by recent run-of-river dams
(2021-02-03)
Unlike large dams which favor methylation of Hg in flooded soils over long periods, run-of-river dams are designed to flood a limited area of soils and are therefore not expected to significantly affect mercury (Hg) cycling ...
