Starting shortly after the Chernobyl accident, samples of roe deer and wild boar from two comparatively highly contaminated Austrian forest stands have been regularly analysed for Cs-137. Until 1995 average Cs-137 concentrations exceeded 1000 Bq kg(-1) in both roe deer and wild boar. Long-term and seasonal trends are similar in both investigation sites. While Cs-137 aggregated transfer factor (Tag) values show a significant decreasing trend in roe deer (ecological half-time 8.6 and 7.2 years, respectively), T-ag-values in wild boar are highly variable, but rather increasing values are observed over the last years. T-ag-values for roe deer are between 0.04 and 0.008 m(2) kg(-1) fresh weight (1987-2003); values for wild boar are between 0.008 m(2) kg(-1) (1988) and 0.046 m(2) kg(-1) (1996) fresh weight. Seasonal trends for both species are in good agreement with observations from German forests: increased mushroom ingestion leads to higher Cs-137 T-ag-values for roe deer in the second half of the year (August-December) compared to the first half (January-July). T-ag-values for wild boar are highest in the first half of the year. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
