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 …

Effects of industrial pollution on the behaviour of radionuclides in spruce forest ecosystems
were studied along a gradient from of a copper–nickel smelter in Monchegorsk, NW Russia …

As part of a detailed survey on the contamination of Polish forests 90 Sr activity
concentrations were determined in bilberries. Elevated 90 Sr levels were found in several …

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 predictions of three models of 137Cs transfer in forest ecosystems (FOA, LOGNAT and
FORESTLAND) were compared. The scenario for the model–model comparison consisted of …

Abstract In 2015–2016, 13 forest and 7 virgin grassland plots located in the south-western
districts of the Bryansk region were surveyed. The aim of the work was to experimentally test …

[en] The methodology study shows that the sampling and sample treatment methods
including 20 trees is adequate for good determination of the Cs-137 content. No horizontal …

Concentrations of the long-lived radioisotope 129I were measured in dated tree rings in
order to determine whether the distribution of this isotope reflects the history of nuclear …

Long-term observations on the effects of a fertilization treatment on 137Cs concentrations in
forest vegetation are scarce. Needles of Scots pine were used as biological indicators of …

The activity concentrations of natural (226 Ra, 232 Th and 40 K) and anthropogenic (137
Cs) radioactive elements in local and imported wood samples have been investigated …
