Food web structure, mercury biomagnification and carbon pathways in an experimentally flooded wetland

The objective of this thesis was to determine the role of food web structures and carbon sources in contributing to elevated organic mercury (OHg) in a flooded reservoir food web compared to a non flooded lake. Stable isotopes of carbon indicated the different sources of food energy that could pote...
