Abstract

Laboratory tests Mechanistic plausibility Mesocosms Spatial gradients Temporal gradients Verified predictions
The objective of this chapter is to assemble and evaluate existing evidence (both from within and outside the Everglades) in a formal, causal analysis using criteria-guided judgement to determine the cause of the observed susceptibility of the Everglades to high rates of Hg biomagnification and its extreme geographic and temporal variability.
