Accumulation of Cs and K in aboveground organs of tropical woody fruit plants

Distribution of K and Cs in tissues of the Citrus aurantifolia was measured by gamma spectrometry. A simple theoretical model is also proposed to describe the temporal evolution of K activity concentration in such tropical woody fruit species. This model exhibits close agreement with the K experimen...

Description
Summary:Distribution of K and Cs in tissues of the Citrus aurantifolia was measured by gamma spectrometry. A simple theoretical model is also proposed to describe the temporal evolution of K activity concentration in such tropical woody fruit species. This model exhibits close agreement with the K experimental results, in the leaf growing and fruit ripening processes of lemon trees.
