Source sentences:
text: Our results suggest that contaminated sediments posing a high risk for reactivation of legacy Hg following transient redox resuspension events are characterized by depletion of sulfate in the sediment porewater prior to resuspension, predominance of HgII species with solubility exceeding that of crystalline β-HgS(s), and conditions promoting in situ formation and/or import of labile OM from algal and terrestrial sources.
