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 …

It is important to understand the changes in the 137 Cs concentration in litter through
leaching when considering that 137 Cs is transferred from basal food resources to animals …

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 …

Abstract Cesium-137 (137 Cs) migration in the litter layer consists of various processes,
such as input via throughfall, output via litter decomposition, and input from deeper layers …

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 …

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

The fate of radiocesium (137 Cs) derived from the Fukushima nuclear accident and
associated radiation risks are largely dependent on its migration and retention behavior in …

This study investigated the transport of 137 Cs within a forest ecosystem by examining
temporal changes in the inventory and determining the major pathways of transfer following …

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 …

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 …
