Аннотация:The content and profile distribution of 137Cs in iron-illuvial dwarf and shallow-podzolic podzols (Albic Podzols) under bilberry-lichen and green-lichen-bilberry pine forests in the located near the Kola Nuclear Power Plant have been analyzed. The pollution density (reserve) of 137Cs in the root-inhabited layer (0–30 cm) in the studied soils was significantly lower than the established control level of 37 000 Bq/m2 and amounts to 530–2459 Bq/m2. A significant part of 137Cs (60 to 90%) was concentrated in mineral horizons. It has been shown that the pollution density of 137Cs in the observation zone of a nuclear power plant was mainly due to global fallout. The greatest influence on 137Cs accumulation in the studied soils was exerted by the organic matter reserve.
