Response of Pines irradiated with Lethal and Sublethal Doses of γ -Radiation

WE have previously reported on the early recovery behaviour of Pinus thunbergii trees which were exposed to 715 rads of acute γ-radiation 1,2 . This communication is a report on the later recovery behaviour of the same trees during the first and second growing seasons after irradiation, and on simil...
