Microcosms containing leaf litter, sand, and three, six, or nine millipedes were incubated for 14 weeks at either 5°, 15°, or 25°C under three rates of simulated rainfall. Effects of temperature, rate of leaching, and millipede density on transfer of ( 137)Cs, K, Mg, and mass and on evolution of CO 2 were analyzed statistically and by analog computer simulation. Loss rates from litter increased in the order: Mg < mass < ( 137)Cs
