Abstract：
:We investigated the changes in 137Cs exchangeable fraction in the soils of contaminated forest ecosystems until 6 years after the Fukushima radioactive atmospheric deposits. For this investigation, we performed chemical extractions of 137Cs from both organic and mineral soil layer sampled from two forest stands, Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and broadleaf deciduous, mainly konara oak (Quercus serrata), which are located 26-27 km inland from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant. The exchangeable 137Cs as a proportion of the total 137Cs inventory was only 10% in the organic layer and 6.1% in the mineral soil layer about 5 months after the accident at the Japanese cedar site. We observed an exponential decrease in the proportion of exchangeable 137Cs in both organic and mineral soil layer samples over the 6-years observation period at both sites. The proportion significantly decreased within 2-4 years after the accident, becoming almost constant (2-4%). These results support the interpretation that contaminated forests have entered a steady-state phase of 137Cs cycling, although we need more integration for an improved vision of the future of Fukushima forests.
