Abstract: Investigates the influence of bedrock lithology on methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in wetlands of Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada. Role of wetlands in the export of MeHg to the watershed; Determination of the chemistry of the surface water; Type of lithology present in the terrestrial landscape.
