Accumulation and Long-Term Behavior of Radiocaesium in Tropical Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accumulation and distribution of 40K and 137Cs in tropical plant species were studied through measurements of gamma-ray spectra from mango, avocado, guava, pomegranate, chili pepper, papaya and manioc trees. Our goal was to infer their differences in the uptake and translocation of ions to the aboveground plant parts and to establish the suitability of using radiocaesium as a tracer for the plant uptake of nutrients such as K+.

Manures behave similar to superphosphate in phosphorus accumulation in long-term field soils
Repeated application of manures to agricultural soils could cause the accumulation of phosphorus (P) in soils. However, it is unclear if manure P can behave similar to P in soluble fertilizers in accumulation Olsen-P (0.5 mol L-1 NaHCO3 at pH 8.5) in soils. A long-term wheat-maize rotation experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of repeated application of manures on P accumulation i...
متن کاملAnalysis of oil price behavior in the short term and long term based on the strategy of producers
The strategy are in the planning of oil price changes in the short and long term. Therefore, producers should seek to analyze the behavior of crude oil prices in the short and long term in order to adjust their plans. the price level in the oil market is associated with high fluctuations, many producers in the market seek to reduce exchange risk. This article aims to analyze the behavior of oil...
متن کاملFactors Influencing the Soil to Plant Transfer of Radiocaesium
Radiocaesium isotopes are among the long-lived radionuclides which were released in largest quantities into the environment as a consequence of the atmospheric nuclear weapon tests and accidents involving nuclear material (Chernobyl and Fukushima, etc.). Its transfer to plants, especially those for human or animal food, can be a major pathway for human intake and, therefore, have a significant ...
متن کاملDownward migration and transfer to plants of radiocaesium in Scottish soil profiles - A comparison with earlier studies
Following the accident at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl in 1986, great volumes of Cs were distributed over large parts of the former Soviet Union and Europe. Over Scotland, radiocaesium was deposited as wet deposition. Due to the relatively long physical half-life of 30 years, there are still measurable activity concentrations in the natural environment. This study was made on two organi...
