Résumé
Direct measurements of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) exchanges over global ecosystems are challenging and require extensive and costly measurement systems. Here, we explore the use of atmospheric GEM concentration variability and passive samplers to assess underlying ecosystem GEM exchanges at two rural temperate forests in the northeastern United States. We find strong temporal alignments between atmospheric GEM concentration declines and ecosystem GEM deposition in spring at both forests, which followed patterns of CO
