Abstract
Tritiated water applied to the surface of soil in a tropical rain forest was found in free water of the litter and top 18 centimeters of soil as long as 7 months after the application. Plant roots, even in the high-rainfall environment of a tropical rain forest, therefore are exposed to tritiated water for considerable periods of time after release.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
