Abstract

The usefulness of cosmogenic7Be as a tracer in a terrestrial environment has been investigated. Atmospheric fluxes and inventories of the radionuclide in grassland have been determined. Environmental behavior in connection with foliar interception and possibility of subsequent release has been studied.
