Content of mercury in organic soil horizons was monitored to ascertain seasonal changes in background levels. L, F, and H horizons were relatively enriched in mercury in early spring. Levels then diminished and reached seasonal low values in August. Content of mercury then increased twofold during September after which levels declined to summer values. F horizons had the highest content of mercury and H horizons had the lowest. Key words: Mercury cycling, mercury dynamics, heavy metal
