Prognosis of accumulation of _37Cs and 90Sr in the herbage of the main types of the Belarus Polessje meadows utilizing agrochemical soil properties
On the basis of long-term stationary experience it was established that the minimum accumulation of _37Cs and 90Sr in the herbage of the waterless valley, marshed and flood types of the Belarus Polessje meadows contaminated by Chernobyl radionuclides is seen when the optimum basic agrochemical soil properties are achieved with the application of the scientifically reasonable protective measures. It was demonstrated that in the remote period of the accident for the prognosis of radionuclides contents in natural and cultural meadows herbage it is advisable to use of transfer factors (TFa, Bq/kg : kBq/m2) based on the complex agrochemical parameters – basic saturation degree (V, %) and agrochemical cultivation soils index (Iac), which take into account several soil characteristics simultaneously. This article provides the equations of linear and multiple regressions thаt can be used to calculate the transfer factors for _37Cs and 90Sr uptake and the herbage contamination degree for the main types of meadows of the region, which will allow one to reduce the volume of forages production (hay, green bulk) thаt is not adequate to the established permissible levels: Republican allowable levels of the contents of cesium-137 and strontium-90 in agricultural raw material and forages.
