[On the effect of partial flooding on 137Cs and 90Sr in forest biogeocenosis].

The analysis was made on 137Cs and 90Sr distribution oak, pine and hornbeam plantations depending on different under soil water levels. Intensity of 137Cs and of 90Sr migration along the vertical layers of soils is determined by under soil water level at a specific sampling site. The closer under soil water to the surface of the soil, the lowest radionuclide contamination is in the upper soil levels and the highest radionuclide contamination is in the deeper layers. The "fast" and "slow" quasi diffusion coefficients for 137Cs and for 90Sr and their contribution to the total migration of radionuclide through vertical soil levels were determined. A decrease in 137Cs and increase in 90Sr transfer factors to the elements of overground phytomass as a result of under soil water level lowering was established.
