The research is aimed at the assessment of the dose rates to Japanese cedar trees which were exposed to ionizing radiation after the accident. The dose rate calculations were performed by dosimetric models developed and parameterized according to the radiocaesium measurements in different components of forest ecosystems of Fukushima Prefecture.
