[The role of vegetation cover in regulation of fluxes of the technogenic radionuclides at the different stages after radioactive fallout].

In remote period after the radioactive fallout the biological cycle of 137Cs in pine forests of northern forest-steppe zone and Bryanskoe Polissye become different. In pine forests (northern forest-steppe zone) with dark grey forest soil 137Cs flux to the soil with litterfall exceeds its influx to the vegetation by a factor of 5. Thus biological cycle of 137Cs differs from the cycle of stable K and till now its main characteristic feature is domination of 137Cs flux to the soil with litterfall. In pine forests (Bryanskoe Polissye zone) with podzolic illuvialiron sandy soil annual 137Cs influx to above-ground vegetation via root uptake exceeds its return to the soil with litterfall. Under these conditions biological cycle of 137Cs approaches it to the biological cycle of stable K.
