In forests affected by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, trees became
contaminated with 137 Cs. However, 137 Cs transfer processes determining tree …

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 …

A process-based model for 137 Cs transfer in forest surface environments was developed to
assess the dynamic behavior of Fukushima-derived 137 Cs in a Japanese forest. The model …

Approximately 70% of the area highly 137 Cs-contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Plant accident is forested. Decontamination works in most of these forests …

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 …

Forests in Fukushima and neighboring prefectures accumulated atmospheric fallout of
radioactive materials after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. We …

Understanding the actual situation of radiocesium (137Cs) contamination of trees caused by
the Fukushima nuclear accident is essential for predicting the future contamination of wood …

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 …

Analysis of 137Cs trapped in biomass in highly contaminated zones is crucial in predicting
the long-term fate of 137Cs following the explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power …

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 …
