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.
