We analyzed changes in ambient dose equivalent rates ($textit{.{H}}$*(10)) between 2011 and 2017 in forests in Fukushima Prefecture. PHITS was used to calculate the effects of changes in the distribution of $textsuperscript{134}$Cs and $textsuperscript{137}$Cs within forests on $textit{.{H}}$*(10). The transfer of radiocesium from the crowns of evergreen coniferous trees to the forest floor appeared to cause slower decreases in $textit{.{H}}$*(10) at 1 m height in early years than expected by the rate of $textsuperscript{134}$Cs and $textsuperscript{137}$Cs decay.
