Strontium-90 in a tropical rain forest: 12th-yr validation of a 32-yr prediction

Description

Wood, leaf, litter and soil samples were collected in January 1974 in a tropical rain forest and analyzed for 90Sr in order to validate a model which predicts 90Sr in that forest from 1962 through 1994. The forcing function for the model was fallout between 1962 and 1967. Values for leaves, wood and soil were close to the predicted values, but 90Sr in the litter was higher than predicted. (author)
