Mercury Translocation in Hemp Cultivated on Contaminated Soils with Isotope Tracer

An experiment by Antoine Delemazure measuring mercury concentration and yield in hemp plant parts grown on soils with three contamination levels (0.09, 1.8, and 61 mg Hg kg⁻¹). An enriched ²⁰⁰Hg tracer was applied to leaves at doses of 0, 14, or 56 µg to study foliar uptake and translocation. The dataset was last updated on April 23, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling mercury translocation pathways in plants based on foliar tracer application.
• Comparing plant tissue mercury concentrations across three distinct soil contamination levels.
• Analyzing the relationship between applied tracer dose and mercury yield in different plant parts.

Strengths

• Includes three specific soil mercury concentrations (0.09, 1.8, and 61 mg Hg kg⁻¹).
• Uses a controlled enriched ²⁰⁰Hg tracer applied at two doses (14 and 56 µg) plus a control.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 8.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
