Fig. 1: The biogeochemical effect of elevated carbon dioxide on global vegetation uptake of Hg(0).
From: Potential decoupling of CO2 and Hg uptake process by global vegetation in the 21st century
a Hg(0) vegetation uptake flux at present day, the value represents the gross uptake of atmospheric Hg(0) through both stomatal and cuticular (non-stomatal) processes and does not include the immediate re-emission from foliage. Observations (represented by rhombuses) are obtained from the global vegetation measurements database (see Materials and Methods). b Change in Hg(0) vegetation uptake flux caused by the biogeochemical effects of eCO2 between 2100 and the present day under a business-as-usual scenario (SSP5-8.5). The numbers in the figure represent the global total values.
