Summary

This dataset includes field and laboratory measurements of surface waters, pore waters, sediment, and fish from Water Conservation Areas and adjacent canals of the Florida Everglades (USA). Water, sediment, and fish samples were collected from Water Conservation Areas 1 (Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge), 2, and 3 and neighboring canals between 2012 and 2019. The sites sampled in Water Conservation Areas 2 and 3 follow hydrologic flow paths. Field measurements reported for surface and pore waters include specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). Pore waters were filtered (quartz fiber filter) and measured for major cations, inorganic anions, inorganic [...]

Purpose

These data provide information on the chemistry of waters, sediment, and resident fish, including the concentration and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM), major cations, inorganic anions, and mercury species. The purposes of these data are to provide information on geochemical factors influencing the concentrations and distribution of inorganic mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in freshwater wetlands of the Florida Everglades.
