Radiocesium (137 Cs) derived from the accident of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant
remains in forests. Although a large proportion of the 137 Cs in forests has been transferred …

Abstract The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident caused serious 137 Cs
contamination in mountainous forest areas. To understand the spatial variation in soil 137 …

Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is the main timber species in Japan. The prediction
of the temporal changes in the 137 Cs concentration in the stemwood of Japanese cedar …

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 large amount of 137 Cs deposited on the forest floor because of the Fukushima Dai-ichi
Nuclear Power Plant accident represents a major potential long-term source for mobile 137 …

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 …

The mega earthquake that rampaged north-east Japan on March 11, 2011 has triggered
tsunami in Pacific Ocean. This powerful tsunami hit and destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi …

Cryptomeria japonica trees in the area surrounding Fukushima, Japan, intercepted 137 Cs
present in atmospheric deposits soon after the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011 …

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 …
