Abstract The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, Japan,
released the largest quantity of radionuclides into the terrestrial environment since the 1986 …

Abstract The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident in March 2011
resulted in the contamination of Japanese landscapes with radioactive fallout. Accordingly …

Although it is an integral part of global change, most of the research addressing the effects of
climate change on forests have overlooked the role of environmental pollution. Similarly …

The long term dynamics of radiocesium in typical forest ecosystems was studied in the
radioactive contaminated areas in Fukushima Prefecture. Six observations sites located in …

Most of the area contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident is
covered by forest. In this paper, we updated model predictions of temporal changes in the …

We investigated the changes in 137 Cs exchangeable fraction in the soils of contaminated
forest ecosystems until 6 years after the Fukushima radioactive atmospheric deposits. For …

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 …

Understanding the process of wood formation and its dynamics over the growing season is
fundamental to interpret the isotopic signature of tree rings. Indeed, the isotopic signal …

Aiming to fill a need for data regarding radiocesium transport via both branchflow and
stemflow through forests impacted by radioactive fallout, this study examined the vertical …

Since Fukushima accident, dozens of field studies have been conducted in order to quantify
and understand the behaviour of atmospheric radiocesium (137 Cs) fallouts in contaminated …
