DESCRIPTION:Due to the nuclear power accident on 11th March\, 2011\, a wide
  area of Japan was polluted by radioactive elements. Especially\, caesium 
 (Cs) was spread in a wide area\, which led to a severe thread for agricult
 ural production. Immediately after the accident\, extend of pollution as w
 ell as scientific knowledge how the elements will react in the agroecosyst
 em was limited. Thus\, many research activities with farmers and rural ins
 titution were started to analyze the Cs concentration in soil and plant. I
 n this lecture\, I will introduce the overview of the pollution condition 
 in Northern Japan from official data and a survey conducted by our group i
 n central Fukushima.\nSimilar to Chernobyl\, the spread of radioactive pol
 lutants was closely related to the wind direction and speed\, however the 
 area was much smaller in the case of Fukushima than Chernobyl. The severel
 y polluted area at the north-west to the nuclear power plant was caused by
  a wind on 12th March. The wind turned due to the mountains to the south\,
  polluting the central part of the Fukushima prefecture. The Cs concentrat
 ion in the south-central Fukushima ranges from 30\,000-600\,000 Bq/m2 and 
 is at the border of the acceptable limit to live.\nEven though the high so
 il pollution\, most of the agricultural product were found to be under the
  acceptable limit of 100 Bq/kg for food in Japan. Relatively young soils w
 ith high buffer capacity and potassium supply were the reason for that. Ho
 wever\, there are still dangers of secondary pollution and the high intern
 al Cs cycle in the forest. The newest results will be introduced in this l
 ecture.  \n***\nInvited by Egbert Matzner\, Soil Ecology
