We studied soil MeHg concentrations during the re-flooding of a lake bed in the northern Appalachian mountain region of the Northeastern US that had been drained for approximately 7 years. The formation of bioavailable methyl-mercury (MeHg) can increase when oxidized soils become reduced after flooding. Supplemental data presented here include information about the lakebed study site and sampling locations -- as well as the soil characteristics, soil mercury concentrations, and soil genomic DNA extraction data.
