That Is the inference of re search results recently re ported by George M. Wood well of the Brookhaven Na to Woodwell, shows that plants, like animals, vary in sensitivity to radiation. Among the more sensitive plants is the pitch pine. Among the more resistant are bacteria, algae (the stuff of pond scum), and fungi (molds, mushrooms, toadstools, smuts, rusts). Woodwell and his co-workers found that large plants which reproduce slowly, such as trees, appear to suffer most from radiation. And trees in their reproductive phase are more sensitive than mature trees which have ceased to vegetating. Moreover, plants which have been injured by radiation seem to be more liable than others to damage from parasi tical insects which feed on their leaves. In a forest area where dif ferent kinds of vegetation flourished, Woodwell and his colleagues set up a powerful radiation source. It was cesium-137, a product of atomic fission. The radiation exposure levels in roentgen units, were hundreds of times greater than those from worldwide bomb test fallout but were result locally from explosions in a nuclear war. After six months, most of the trees in the 40-yard circle were dead or had suffered se vere damage. In a report to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Woodwell said: Sever Damage "It is clear that exposures in excess of 1,000 roentgens delivered over any period of less than six months would cause severe damage to pitch pine forests and probably to other gymnosperm forests (conifers) as well. "Parallel damage would oc of the earth, and scum and mold. Rhodesia has its own a a wnne member of a Lombard a "Kiffir Boetie" The student, bearded, South BO 25-33-301! roentgens." "The hypothesis seems ten able," Woodwell added, "that small organisms with wide ecological amplitudes and high rates of reproduction in short, weeds and other or ganisms frequently consid ered pestiferous because of their persistence under perse cution - have survival advan tage under conditions of long term exposure to ionizing radiation over large organ isms with longer life cycles." In other words, if nuclear war should destroy the for ests, there still would be "Jamoi Meredith" in re Terse.
