 ng\nMichigan Technological University\n\nAbstract: Adequate parameterizati
 on of atmosphere-surface exchange processes of gaseous elemental mercury (
 Hg^0) is an essential component of chemical transport models (CTMs) to bet
 ter simulate the biogeochemical cycling of mercury. In most CTMs\, the exi
 sting atmosphere-surface exchange parameterization of Hg^0 has large uncer
 tainties and lacks evaluation against field observations. Here\, we evalua
 te the performance of existing parameterizations by comparing modeled net 
 exchange fluxes of Hg^0 to the measured exchange fluxes in two terrestrial
  ecosystems. We propose that the existing parameterization overestimates p
 lant uptake of Hg^0\, and does not capture a measured nighttime net deposi
 tion.
