[Modeling the behavior of 137Cs in a soil-plant system after use of ameliorators].

The main processes and mechanisms responsible for 137Cs behaviour in the soil-forest plants system following the application of ameliorants are described. Mathematical models are presented based on the identification of mechanisms governing the physico-chemical and biological processes, a set of which determined the radionuclides uptake by plants. The models parameterization is exemplified by forest soils subjected to radioactive contamination after the Chernobyl accident. Effects of ameliorants and time of their application on 137Cs behaviour in the soil-plant system are assessed. The contribution of soil chemical and biological processes to the decrease in the radionuclide uptake by plants is estimated.
