چکیده

background: investigation on the natural radionuclides 238u, 232th, 40k and natural fallout radionuclide 210po in the prominent plants species of western ghats tropical forest near kotagiri have been carried out as a part of baseline background radiation studies in the forest environment. materials and methods: the prominent plants species of the region evodia roxburghiana and eleaocarpus oblangus were chosen and concentrations of 238u, 232th, 40k and 210po were measured by employing gamma ray spectrometer and alpha counter. results: the radioactivity concentrations in plants and soils reflect the impact of the existence of igneous nature of rock in the area of study. concentration ratios (cr) of these radionuclides, between plants and underlying soil, have been studied and results shows that the concentration ratios (cr) seem to be depend on radionuclides in soil. conclusion: from careful analysis of the results, these plants could be used as an indicator to monitor these radonuclides.

Distribution of radionuclide in the forest soils (Western Ghats-India)

Background: The presence of radionuclides in the soil, measures need to be taken to minimize the radiation dose to humans. It is mostly gamma-emitting radionuclides that contribute to the radiation dose in long term behavior of these radionuclides in soil may determine the extent to which such countermeasures need to be applied. Materials and Methods: The activity concentration of these radionu...

Cultural drivers of reforestation in tropical forest groves of the Western Ghats of India

Sacred forest groves in the Western Ghats of India are small fragments of tropical forest that have received protection due to religious beliefs and cultural practices. These forest fragments are an example of community-based conservation and they serve as refugia for many forest-dwelling species in otherwise highly anthropogenic tropical forest-agriculture landscapes of the Indian Western Ghat...
