Abstract
Vegetation assimilation of atmospheric gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) represents the largest dry deposition pathway in global terrestrial ecosystems. This study investigated Hg accumulation mechanisms in deciduous broadleaves and evergreen needles, focusing on how ecophysiological strategies-reflected by delta 13C, delta 18O, leaf mass per area, and leaf dry matter content-mediated Hg accumulation. Results showed that deciduous leaves exhibited higher total Hg (THg) concentrations and accumulation rates (THgrate), which were 85.3 +/- 17.7 and 110.0 +/- 0.3% higher than those in evergreen needles. The two tree types exhibited distinct ecophysiological strategies: deciduous broadleaves, with higher stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rates, rapidly adjust stomata to changes in meteorological and pollutant factors, playing a key role in controlling THgrate. In contrast, evergreen needles featured stable stomatal control, highlighting the direct positive effect of GEM on their THgrate. Precipitation and wind speed negatively influenced foliar THgrate. Correlations between PM2.5, NO2, and THgrate in evergreen needles suggested synergistic patterns between atmospheric Hg and pollutants. This study underscores distinct GEM accumulation mechanisms across tree functional types and emphasizes the importance of species-specific foliar ecophysiological strategies. An empirical model linking THgrate with ecophysiological, meteorological, and atmospheric pollution factors was provided, contributing to the refinement of foliar Hg accumulation models.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
