Because most mercury in forests is found in soil, we will estimate emissions by sampling soils immediately before and after fires, and by comparing mercury storage in soils with different fire histories. Co-investigators are Mac Callaham, John Stanturf, and Tom Waldrop. Cooperators include S. Knight Cox (Clemson Experimental Forest, South Carolina) as well as personnel from the National Forests in the southeastern United States. Search for on-line publications by: Ralph DiCosty
