Abstract:
Dynamics of 137Cs specific activity (SA) in woody plants was examined. It was found that interseasonal variations of SA are connected mainly with precipitations and related oxygen in soil as well as Eh level. The rate of daily variation in SA in an individual tree can reach 19%. Acropetal or basipetal 137Cs distribution in the bole depends on physiological condition category (PCC) of a tree, weather and environment; SA ratio of higher and lower PCC depends on the same factors. In winter compared to summer higher SA correlation of tree separate parts was observed. Trees with 137Cs acropetal distribution in bark had proven lower general CA level.
