Environmental transfer parameters for radionuclides released from the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Chapter 5 Forest ecosystems
Approximately 70% of the territory affected by the Fukushima Daiichi accident is covered by forest (Fig. 5.1) [5.1]. Forests in Fukushima prefecture consist of about 0.34 million ha of forest plantations and 0.58 million ha of natural/semi natural forest. In this section, radiocaesium interception by tree canopy, transfer to tree and forest products (sansai, mushrooms and game animals), and mobility in tree and soil are described
