文摘

Distribution of Hg in sediments in the Yangtze River estuary-inner shelf of ECS was revealed. Decrease of Hg with increasing distance offshore suggests a dominance of riverine input. Organic matter and hydrodynamic forces influence the behavior of Hg in sediments. Yangtze River estuary-inner shelf of ECS is a key sink of Hg in marginal seas off China.
