Abstract Based on the studies on the global mercury cycling processes in forests over the last 20-year, this study aims to elucidate the vegetation mercury distribution and its influencing factors in major forest types globally through meta-analysis. Results showed that the descending order of mercury concentrations in vegetation (in terms of median value) was litterfall (38.9ng/g) > foliage (24.1ng/g) > root (18.5ng/g) > bark (13.2ng/g) > branch (12.0ng/g) > stem (3.1ng/g). Litterfall was highly significantly correlated with foliage Hg concentration (rho=0.747, p<0.01, rho: Spearman's correlation coefficient, depending on number of samples, hereafter), and a significant correlation (rho=0.265, P<0.05) between leaves and trunks, but no correlations among the rest of tissues (p>0.05). The above correlations are mainly controlled by the uptake of atmospheric elemental mercury by foliage and the upward transport from foliage to the xylem of trees. In addition, vegetation Hg concentrations in broadleaf evergreen forest leaves (median: 56.0ng/g, below) were higher than those in coniferous (25.5ng/g), broadleaf deciduous (23.0ng/g), and mangrove (18.6ng/g) forests. This is because the combined effects of stomatal conductance, stomatal number, leaf area and leaf longevity lead to the evergreen broadleaf forests with the greatest capacity for mercury enrichment. this study showed a significant inter-regional variation in vegetation Hg concentrations (e.g., up to range of 0.90~225ng/g). This can be attributed to the inter-regional differences in vegetation type and atmospheric mercury concentrations. This study provides important data and expanded our understanding to further quantify the global forest vegetation Hg pool and sink.
