Abstract
⺠During rainy season mercury (Hg2+) is carried out from terrestrial to aquatic systems by runoff. ⺠Macrophyte roots accumulates Hg2+ from suspended particulate matter (SPM). ⺠Hg methylation increases during the wet season. ⺠Flooded forest is a source of labile organic carbon and bioavailable Hg. ⺠Macrophytes decompose during the dry season and made up terrestrial soil.
