The outflow of Cs from the mountainous forest floor was estimated in the Abukuma Mountains, Fukushima. The outflow rates are decreased with a cover rate of the forest floor by a litter layer. The result shows the important role of the litter layer and undergrowth on a migration control of the radiocesium outflow from the forest floor.
