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

"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
