Mercury and the Everglades. A Synthesis and Model for Complex Ecosystem Restoration
This book integrates 30 years of mercury research in the Florida Everglades to inform scientists and policy makers. The Everglades is an iconic ecosystem by virtue of its expanse; diversity of biota; and multiple international designations. Despite this,

Preface Volume II
As stated in the Preface to Volume I, the objective of this book is to provide a synthesis of the findings from the extensive research that has been conducted on the Everglades’ mercury (Hg) problem. The goal is that this synthesis will serve as a framework for policy makers in making informed decisions. Additionally, it is hoped that this synthesis will serve as a reference for future researchers both within the Everglades and in other regions plagued with Hg problems. Volume I of the book focused on the evolution of the Everglades as a perturbed ecosystem and the significance of atmospheric deposition of Hg to this system. This volume focuses on aquatic Hg cycling, biomagnification, and ecological and human health risks from expo
