Short summary
The current study provides the first quantitative budget analysis of radiocesium re-suspended from ground surface contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident. It provides useful information to society since our simulation can be used for the long-term assessment of internal exposure to residents in Japan. It also discussed that the re-suspension from forest ecosystems could be a dominant source of suspended radiocesium in the warm season in Japan.
