Abstract The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident caused serious radiocesium
(137Cs) contamination of forest ecosystems over a wide area. The removal of the forest floor …

Removal of litter-associated 137 Cs from the forest floor (litter removal) can reduce the 137
Cs uptake by plants; however, the proposed effective period for litter removal was 1–2 years …

The effects of a 50% forest thinning intensity on Fukushima-derived 137 Cs deposition by
litterfall and its discharge by runoff in hillslope coniferous forest were monitored using four …

The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant caused serious radiocesium
(137Cs) contamination of forest ecosystems located in mountainous and hilly regions with …

Our study focused on radiocaesium (137Cs) partitioning in forests, three vegetation periods
after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. 137Cs distribution in forest …

Vast forest areas in eastern Japan have been contaminated with radio-isotopes by the
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident. Radiocesium (radioCs) is known …

In this study, we investigated the transfer of canopy-intercepted radiocesium to the forest
floor following the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. The 137 Cs content of …

To examine the degree of 137Cs wash-off from forest floor, we monitored the amount of
particulate and dissolved 137Cs in surface runoff water from three m2 of experimental plots …

There has been leakage of radioactive materials from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power
Plant. A heavily contaminated area (≥ 134, 137Cs 1000 kBq m− 2) has been identified in …

In forest ecosystems, forest litter is considered an active medium for radiocesium (137 Cs).
To understand discharge mechanisms of highly bioavailable dissolved 137 Cs from forests …
