In this paper, we report 8 years monitoring results for the environmental dynamics of radiocesium in the forested environment of Kawamata and Namie, Fukushima, Japan. The long-term time-dependent changes of radiocesium activities and transfer processes associated with throughfall and litterfall are also discussed.

Cs dispersed by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident deposited in Fukushima area, that are not decontaminated in mountainous areas, may migrate through river water to animals and plants. Most of Cs in river are fixed in clay minerals, but there are some Cs that can be easily desorbed, named as labile components. It has been suggested that labile components affect the bioavailability of Cs. In this study, the labile Cs was sampled in situ from upstream to downstream in several rivers of Fukushima using a passive sampler called diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT). The desorption behavior of the labile component and factors affecting it will be discussed by examining the relationship with particulate Cs and geochemical parameters in river water.
