#3  To be honest it sounds more like AGW bullshit.

Wood is antimicrobial, it doesn't just rot unless kept wet and the surface is broken.

#1  Interesting experiment, but was it conducted in the area where the contaminated topsoil had been removed?

Usually, bacteria and fungi are more resistant to radiation than higher organisms.

If you remove the topsoil, it could take a long time to re-establish the microbial community.
