| Abstract |
The role of bamboo forest in soil Hg accumulation and emissions was evaluated by analyzing Hg concentration in soil and plant samples as well as Hg flux between soil and air. THg concentrations in soil samples ranged widely from 28.5 to 860 ng g-1 with a mean value of 153 ± 17.3 ng g-1. Methylmercury concentrations in soil samples from forest soil (FS, 0.94 ± 0.20 ng g-1) were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than from bare soil (BS, 0.54 ± 0.07 ng g-1). The mean foliar THg concentration (178 ± 16.8 ng g-1) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those in branches (63.1 ± 7.27 ng g-1) and roots (73.1 ± 16.9 ng g-1), indicating that the major source of Hg in bamboo might be from air deposition. Hg flux from FS (25.6 ng m-2 h-1) was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than that from BS (32.2 ng m-2 h-1). The annual decline in Hg emissions due to the presence of the bamboo forest may reach 6.94 kg. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 September 2018.
All research outputs
#19,611,252
of 24,119,703 outputs
Outputs from Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
#2,914
of 4,112 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#260,886
of 337,614 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology
#18
of 64 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,119,703 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,112 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 337,614 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 64 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
