                         during the fire. We quantified mercury emissions from biomass and 
                         soil during a prescribed fire in Brazil using the difference in 
                         mercury burden in vegetation and soil before and after burning, 
                         and data were critically compared with those previously obtained 
                         in a similar experiment in another part of the Amazonia. The 
                         calculated mercury emission factor was 4.1±1.4gHgha-1, with the 
                         main part (78%) originating from litterfall and O-horizon, and 
                         only 14% associated with live biomass. When considering the fuel 
                         burned loading, the emission factor ranged from 40 to 53¼gHgkg-1. 
                         Data were also obtained on soil temperature profile and on Hg 
                         speciation in soil in an effort to relate these parameters to Hg
