Long-term trends of 137Cs and 40K concentrations in meadow grass and soil-plant transfer data at eight different sites in Upper Austria are presented. Geometric means of 137Cs TF-data and Tagg values vary between 0.03-1.06 and 0.0005-0.0184 depending on site, respectively. 40K results are less variable with TF values covering a range of 0.31-2.01. Only at one site was a significant decrease of 137Cs concentration (decay-corrected) in meadow vegetation observed during the observation period 1992-1999. Seasonal trends of 40K and 137Cs were investigated at one site in 1996. Both elements show decreasing concentrations in plants from beginning of May-July, followed by a peak in September. Although this pattern was not very pronounced, there are some hints that it may explain deviations of long-term trends in 137CS levels in grass caused by unusual weather conditions as indicated by phenological climate data (beginning of sweet cherry and black elder blossoming). Finally, TF values were correlated with soil characteristics, revealing a negative correlation of radiocaesium soil-plant transfer with soil pH, exchangeable and extractable fractions of Mg, Ca and Na as well as a positive correlation with exchangeable Al.
