27 Western Regional Synthesis Goals 1. Synthesis of existing Hg and ancillary data in Western N. America: a) Evaluate factors that control Hg cycling and bioaccumulation: major source, land use, transport and climate b) Identify risk to key biological resources c) Link Hg transport and chemistry with ecological exposure. 2. Engage the entire community of Hg scientists, resource managers and stakeholders (Governmental and NGO) 3. Provide foundational science to help guide regional scale management with respect to Hg risk to human and ecosystem health
28 Land use Atmospheric (global/local) Sources Landscape Factors Biogeochemistry Terrestrial (local/regional) Habitat type Methylmercury production Productivity Ecological Factors Habitat Use Food web structure Methylmercury Bioaccumulation Species Sensitivity Biological Factors Env stressors Se & other contaminants Toxic Effects of Methylmercury Wildlife, fish, and human health
29 Western Regional Synthesis: 1. Spatial patterns a) Across matrices b) Importance of source type c) Latitudinal changes Key Questions 2. Temporal patterns a) Across matrices b) In relation to changes in land use/cover, climate, emissions 3. Landscape effects a) Relative importance of source vs. habitat type b) Linkage between methylation and bioaccumulation across habitats
30 4) Habitat types Western Regional Synthesis Key Questions (cont.) a) Which pose greatest Hg risk to wildlife and ecosystem health? b) What defines Hg-sensitive landscapes? 5) Climate Change What changes in Hg transport and bioaccumulation can be predicted based on expected climate change models? 6) What are the implications for the management of public lands; and what knobs exist? 7) What are the policy implications (nationally, regionally and globally)?
