A Model for the Total Mercury Distribution in a Forest Podzolic Soil Profile

摘要

A model based on the mercury-biomass concept was developed for describing the behavior and distribution of the total mercury in the profile of the podzolic soils of the Central Forest State Biosphere Reserve The model was used for calculating the total mercury content in the genetic horizons of the soils studied. It was found that the calculated parameters agree well with the experimental results. The model proposed for the trans-formation of the forms of mercury in soils is also confirmed by high-speed pyrolysis thermograms.
