A dataset of ¹³⁷Cs activity concentration and inventory in forests contaminated by the Fukushima accident.

ABSTRACT: The majority of the area contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident is covered with forests. We developed a dataset for radiocaesium (¹³⁷Cs) in trees, soil, and mushrooms measured at numerous forest sites. The ¹³⁷Cs activity concentration and inventory data reported in scientific journal papers written in English and Japanese, governmental reports, and governmental monitoring data on the web were collated. The ancillary information describing the forest stands were also collated, and further environmental information (e.g. climate) was derived from the other databases using longitude and latitude coordinates of the sampling locations. The database contains 8593, 4105, and 3189 entries of activity concentration data for trees, soil, and mushroom
