mole_content_of_oxidized_mercury_in_macrobenthos mol m-2 [MLM2] "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "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). "Macrobenthos" refers to plant (phytoplankton) and animal (zooplankton) organisms that live in close contact with the ocean bottom and are larger than 1 mm in size.

mole_content_of_oxidized_mercury_in_macrobenthos mol m-2 [MLM2] "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. "Oxidized mercury" refers to mercury in its ionic form, which may be directly emitted to the environment or formed through the oxidation of elemental mercury. "Macrobenthos" refers to benthic organisms visible to the naked eye.
