Climate-driven sulfate export in alpine watersheds may stimulate methylmercury production
Environmental Research LettersClimate change is increasing sulfate export and changing wetland extent in mountain regions. These changes may increase microbially mediated production of the neurotoxic substance methylmercury due to enhanced sulfate metabolism in mountain environments.
