Abstract

Forest floor is the most important of all forest biogeocenotic components for studying behavior of metals and artificial radionuclides during forest fires. Wide occurrence, active biogeochemical processes caused by constant input of organic matter, and high retentive capacity of airborne metals make forest floor an important biogeochemical barrier that controls migration of metals within forests landscapes. Distribution of metals throughout forest floor and its consumption by fire distinguish a group of metals migrating beyond a burn and help quantify the release.
