1 INTECOL 2012 Tidal transport of DOC, Hg, and MeHg, from Shark River Estuary, Everglades NP BA Bergamaschi, DP Krabbenhoft, GR Aiken, DG Rumbold, E Patino and WH Orem With special thanks to GO Krupp and SD Ploos Environ. Sci. Technol. 2012, 46,
2 Background and motivations The fate and transport of total and methyl mercury in almost all aquatic environments is completely intertwined with the source, fate, and transport of DOM. (Aiken et al., 2011) DOM flux from mangroves represents a large fraction of the global flux of DOM to the oceans. (Dittmar et al, 2006) Measuring fluxes in tidal systems is hard, but DOM absorbance and fluoresence can be used to quantify the flux of mercury and methyl mercury in tidal wetlands. (Bergamaschi et al., 2011, Bergamaschi et al., 2012)
3 Problem(s) In coastal SW Florida, there is high mercury in fish, but.. Not from inflows (Rumbold et al. 2010) MeHg might be from sediments (Rumbold et al. 2010) Flux of DOC and Hg from mangroves is not well constrained (Bouillon et al. 2008) Could the flux from mangroves into coastal waters be significant?
4 Things you should know (if you don t already) DOC flux from mangroves represents 10% of the terrestrial DOC flux to the oceans, even though 0.1% of area DOM flux approximately the same as the Amazon DOM flux (Dittmar et al. 2006) MeHg is the form of mercury that bioaccumulates in food webs. Mangroves swamps represent ideal conditions for methylation of mercury. Mangroves have among the highest leaf tissue concentrations of THg and MeHg (Ding et al. 2011)

14 Important features of this method Integrates over a broad area Integrates over long time scales (multiple tides, spring-neap, seasonal, etc.) Captures events and ephemeral processes (storms, rain, wind direction, changes in barometric pressure, etc.)
15 Yield per unit area DOC was 180 ± 12.6 g C m -2 yr -1. Compares well to the 44 to 381 g C m -2 yr -1 range summarized in a recent review (Bouillon et al. 2008). FTHg was 28 ± 4.5 mg m -2 yr -1, Among the highest previously reported for FTHg flux in wetlands (Shanley et al. 2008; St Louis et al. 1994; Krabbenhoft et al. 1995) Higher than atmospheric deposition likely from canopy capture (Ding et al. 2011). FMeHg was 3.1 ± 0.4 mg m -2 yr -1, 10x 100x generally reported values (e.g. Schwesig and Matzner 2001; Shanley et al. 2008; Brigham et al. 2009). Near the previously published value of 2.5 mg m -2 yr -1 for tidal tule wetland (Bergamaschi et al. 2011)
16 How big could fluxes of DOC, Hg and MeHg from mangroves be in comparison to other sources? Extrapolated over 1400 km 2 of mangroves in SW Florida Compared to 5000 km 2 of coastal waters
17 Conclusions Tidal pumping from mangroves is important Should be included in regional budgets FDOM is a good proxy, easily measured in situ. Continuous measurements are possible Tidal systems are dynamic cannot extrapolate from one or a few tides and get the right answer. Need continuous measurements Large fluxes of MeHg from mangroves (if proven out by future studies) may help explain high concentrations in coastal fish in GOM Need long term studies
