*</sup>Rasmus Sørensen is a PhD student at the Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment at SLU, Uppsala, Sweden. His studies are focused on mercury leakage from managed forestland, involving studies of forest hydrology. His address: Department of Aquatic Science and Assessment, P.O. Box 7050, SE-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden. rasmus.sorensen@vatten.slu.se
^**Markus Meili is an associate professor in biogeochemistry at the Department of Applied Environmental Science (ITM), Stockholm University. He has a particular interest in the coupled cycling of contaminants and nutrients in aquatic ecosystems. His address: Department of Applied Environmental Science (ITM), Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden. markus.meili@itm.su.se
^***Lars Lambertsson has a PhD in analytical chemistry and is a mercury speciation specialist with a research focus on mercury biogeochemistry and petrochemistry. His address: Department of Chemistry, Umeå University, SE-901 87 Umeå, Sweden. lars.lambertsson@chem.umu.se
^****Claudia von Brömssen is a senior lecturer at the Department of Economics, Unit of Applied Statistics and Mathematics, SLU. Her research interests include statistical methods for trend detection in environmental data with special focus on time series that are influenced by meteorological factors. Her address: Department of Economics, Unit of Applied Statistics and Mathematics, Box 7013, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SE-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden. claudia.von.bromssen@ekon.slu.se
^*****Kevin Bishop is professor of environmental assessment. Research to distinguish human influence from natural variability in the surface waters of forested landscapes has led him to consider how silviculture influences mercury cycling.
