STRONTIUM-90 IN PLANTS AND ANIMALS OF ARCTIC ALASKA, 1959-61.
The strontium-90 content of the biota near Cape Thompson, Alaska, was related to environmental factors. In plants, perennials with persistent aerial parts had maximum and similar concentrations of strontium-90. The content of caribou muscle varied seasonally and was highest in winter when lichens were an important caribou food.
