Variations of 14C in Oats Grown from 1957 to 1978 in Quebec

Pierre La Salle, Yvon Martel, Claude Samson

Abstract


Annual atmospheric radiocarbon concentrations for the year 1957 to
1978 are measured through oat seeds grown in the rural region of La Pocatiere, Quebec (700 W, 470 N). Results follow the general pattern of other curves obtained from grains elsewhere in the northern hemisphere. Some disagreements suggest a non-uniform mixing process with faster response to stratospheric contamination in definite regions.
