Abstrakt: Activity concentrations of radionuclides,7Be,210Pb and210Po, in precipitation (rain, throughfall and stemflow), wood and soil were determined by using gamma-ray and alpha-ray spectrometry to estimate the migration behavior of these radionuclides in the forest canopy. The activity ratios between output and input precipitations for the forest canopy were 0.53 of7Be, 0.79 of210Pb and 1.5 of210Po for Pasania edulis forest. A dynamic model of the transport and fate of radionuclides in the forest ecosystem was constructed. Mean residence times of radionuclides were 56 days for7Be, 765 days for210Pb and 653 days for210Po for Pasania edulis forest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
