It contains a general review of knowledge about sources and levels, discussion of natural processes that explain the highly varied behavior of radiocesium in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems Terrestrial ecosystem A community of organisms and their environment that occurs on the land masses of continents and islands. Terrestrial ecosystems are distinguished from aquatic ecosystems by the lower availability of water and the consequent importance of , guidance for choosing transport parameters for dose and risk assessment models, and descriptions of approaches for mitigating the impacts of significant contamination.
