Abstract
The accident at Chernobyl NPP led to a radical change in the radiation situation in forests of Ukraine and caused the need to develop scientific fundamentals of forestry and forest management in the territories contaminated with radionuclides. The study of the migration of radioactive elements in forest ecosystems and their redistribution between the components in time became the basis for solving the above noted problems. The study data helped researchers to develop conceptual schemes of 137Cs migration in forest ecosystems on the basis of forest typology. Years-long research allowed revealing and helped to characterize quantitatively the direction and speed of radionuclide migration in forest biogeocenosis, which in turn provided scientific justification of forest management in the contaminated territories. The obtained results not only enabled researchers to solve applied problems of forest management in conditions of radioactive contamination, but made a significant contribution to the knowledge of the migration of chemical elements in the biosphere.
