Like the other alkali metals, cesium is a soft, silvery metal, but it appears golden if it has been exposed to small amounts of oxygen. It is not found in its metallic state in nature it is obtained as a byproduct of lithium processing of the mineral lepidolite. Its most significant ore is pollucite, and the world s largest pollucite deposit is found in Bernic Lake, Manitoba, Canada. Cesium s average crustal abundance is about 3 parts per million. Cesium is the most electropositive stable element and will ignite if exposed to air. Cesium burns blue in the flame test.

FIGURE 4.3 Recent changes in concentrations of total mercury in axial muscle of walleyes from 13 boreal lakes in northwestern Ontario and Manitoba, Canada. Standardized concentrations for 50-cm walleye sampled during 1996-2000 are plotted against standardized concentrations for fish sampled during 1977-1983 (data are for reference lakes reported in Johnston et al. 2003). Each point below the diagonal line, which has a slope of 1.0, represents a lake where the standardized concentration declined between the 2 sampling intervals.

Figure 6.10. Accumulation of C in non-steady-state soils of a mature black spruce/moss forest in central Manitoba, Canada. Data shown are (A) for sphagnum moss that has accumulated since the site last burned (-100 yr before sampling), and (B) for the humus and charred layer below the regrowing moss and including the A horizon. The soil is developed on the sediments of a lake that dried up -7000 years ago. The parameters 7 = plant input (kgCuf2yr ) and k = decomposition constant (yr-1).
