Key Points

  • Radionuclide levels of 90Sr and 137Cs vary in higher aquatic plants, highlighting contamination risks.
  • Seasonal changes affect radionuclide content, with certain species serving as indicators of radioactivity.
  • Biodiversity within phytocenose influences the distribution of these radionuclides in the ecosystem.
  • Research demonstrates how aquatic plant clumps affect radionuclide distribution in water bodies.

Abstract

The results of radionuclides 90Sr and 137Cs content in higher aquatic plants of water objects within Chernobyl NPP exclusion zone have been analysed. Biodiversity of phytocenose was studied and species-indicators of radioactive contamination are exposed as well. The seasonal dynamics of radionuclides content in macrophites was studied and the role of main aquatic plant clumps in processes of 137Cs and 90Sr distribution in abiotic component of biohydrocenose have been demonstrated.
