Klappentext
This book is a summary of research into radioactivity in terrestrial ecosystems, providing a substantial and essential reference on the subject. Published work on terrestrial radioecology can be traced back to early 1950s, and since then both the mainstream scientific literature and the grey literature on the topic has burgeoned. Major events, such as the Chernobyl accident, have triggered rapid expansions in the volume of published work. During the last 13 years radioecologists have at time been accused of reinventing the wheel by not applying existing knowledge to new events. The book aims to rectify this situation by providing both a broad and detailed synthesis of radioecological literature.
