According to results of research in the 30-km zone around the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986-1990, the authors analyzed the development of processes of migration of radionuclides and revealed factors determining the direction and rate of redistribution of {sup 137}Cs in different components of forest biogeocenoses in the zone of the accident. Data are given that quantitatively characterize the dynamics of cesium in the vegetation and soil.
