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 …

The nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima released large amounts of 137 Cs
radionuclides into the atmosphere which spread over large forest areas. We compared the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Forests over a wide area were contaminated with radiocesium following the Fukushima
nuclear accident in March 2011. Most radiocesium in the forests migrated into the soil a year …

We examined spatial variation in vertical 137 Cs flux from the litter layer using lysimeters
combined with copper-substituted Prussian blue in two forests (deciduous broad-leaved and …

To elucidate the temporal changes in the radiocesium distribution in forests contaminated by
the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, we monitored the 137Cs …

The changes in the distribution of 137 Cs in the wood of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria
japonica) trunks within three years after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNP) …
