Description

This study focused on investigating the soil-to-plant transfers of natural uranium and its distribution in the vegetative parts of four plant species representing different plant types common in boreal forest: May lily (Maianthemum bifolium), narrow buckler fern (Dryopteris carthusiana), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) and spruce (Picea abies). The results were also used to assess concentration ratios between soil and different plant parts. (LN)
