Dynamics and features of mercury accumulation in coniferous trees of Tomsk region

[摘要] This article performs an analysis of mercury concentration in uneven-aged needles of various wood species in peat bog ecosystems of Tomsk region. New data are given on mercury accumulation and distribution depending on the type of conifers, needle age, and landscape and climate conditions. The level of the mercury concentration data obtained in Tomsk region does not exceed the mercury concentration levels in the literature. In general, it lies within the range of average concentrations for Siberia and the total area of Russia.
