"Mole concentration" means number of moles per unit volume, also called "molarity", and is used in the construction "mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical species or biological group denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". "Oxidized_mercury" refers to mercury in ionic form (Hg²⁺ or Hg⁺), formed by the oxidation of elemental mercury (Hg⁰), typically combined with non-carbon elements such as oxygene (mercury oxyde, HgO), sulfur (mercury sulfide, HgS), chlorine (mercury chloride, HgCl₂). Phytoplankton are algae that grow where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis.
