The effects of wildfire on mercury and stable isotopes (δ15N, δ13C) in water and biota of small boreal, acidic lakes in southern Norway
Abstract
Effects of wildfire on main water chemistry and mercury (Hg) in water and biota were studied during the first 4 post-fire years. After severe water chemical conditions during hydrological events a few months following the wildfire, the major water chemical parameters were close to pre-fire conditions 4 years after the fire. Concentrations of total Hg and methyl Hg in the surface water 4 years after the fire ranged between 1.17-2.63 ng L(-1) and 0.053-0.188 ng L(-1), respectively. Both variables were positive and strongly correlated with total organic carbon (TOC), TOC-related variables (color, UV absorbance), total phosphorous, and total iron. In addition, MeHg was positively correlated with total nitrogen and chlorophyll-a. The concurrence of increased concentrations of nutrients and chlorophyll-a in the lakes, the more enriched δ(15)N-signatures and higher Hg levels in fish 2 years after the fire, might be a result of the wildfire. However, natural factors as year-to-year variations in thermocline depth and suboxic status in the lakes make it difficult to draw any strong conclusions about wildfire effects on Hg in the biota from our investigated lakes.

Mercury increased in rainbow trout, brown trout and European perch in Canadian and Norwegian lakes impacted by wildfires.
“For example, mercury increased in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), brown trout (Salmo trutta) and European perch (Perca fluviatilis) in Canadian and Norwegian lakes impacted by wildfires (Kelly et al., 2006; Moreno et al., 2016).”

Factors affecting mercury increases in fish after wildfires included higher water concentrations of mercury and methylmercury, as well as a restructuring of the food web and lengthening of trophic pathways, leading to greater potential for bioaccumulation.
“Factors affecting this increase included both higher water concentrations of mercury and methylmercury following wildfires, as well as a restructuring of the food web and lengthening of trophic pathways, leading to greater potential for bioaccumulation.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
