Abstract The Fukushima Daiishi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) accident led to a massive
radionuclide deposition mainly onto Japanese forest canopies. In our previous study, an …

The study investigated temporal changes in the 137 Cs concentrations in vegetal and
hydrological samples collected from various forests in Yamakiya District, Kawamata Town of …

The Fukushima accident dispersed significant amounts of radioactive cesium (Cs) in the
landscape. Our research investigated, from June 2011 to November 2013, the mobility of …

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 …

Abstract Since the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011, large
areas of the forests around Fukushima have become highly contaminated by radioactive …

Forests are important sources of dissolved radiocesium (137 Cs) discharge downstream. To
improve understanding of dissolved 137 Cs discharge processes during rainstorms, we …

Abstract Because of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, forest
ecosystems in wide areas were contaminated with 137 Cs. It is important to characterize the …

Cesium is an element that belongs to the same group as K, and is known to show similar
behaviour to that of K in plants. In this study, we conducted a serial leaching test for 120 h to …

This study deals with the description of the vertical distribution of radiocaesium (137 Cs and
134 Cs) in a representative coniferous forest soil, investigated 10 months after the …

Abstract After the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident on March 2011, several
studies showed that the downward migration of 137 Cs from litter to mineral soil is more …
