Abstract:
The Chernobyl fallout of 1986 contaminated soils in Southern Germany. Levels of 137Cs activity still remain high in forest soils.

The objective of this study is to investigate a possible effect of canopy opening and clearcutting as well as the selection of conifers and broadleaves for stand regeneration on the vertica...     »
