The objective is to answer key questions:
1. From the outer SRD (river-water dominated) to the apex of the SRD (runoff dominated), what is the current status of nutrients and contaminants in SRD wetland ecosystems?
2. How do trace elements (e.g., mercury) move through SRD wetland food webs?
3. How does water source...
