Abstract
This study reported the first synchronized automated high-time resolution mercury species fluxes over plant canopy. It is
suggested that plants can uptake reactive gaseous mercury and release elemental gaseous mercury during daytime. This can be
environmentally significant due to the bio-transfer (conversion) from a short transported mercury species (Hg (11)) to a long
transport mercury species (Hg°).
