radionuclides

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of methodological approaches to the organization of environmental research in the context of landscape ecology with an emphasis on radioecological monitoring of areas contaminated with radionuclides. The study is based on a systematic approach that takes into account the spatial differentiation of radioactive contamination in relation to the geo-ecological characteristics of the area and the structure of landscapes.

The intensity of heavy metals, natural and anthropogenic radionuclides are studied in the cultivated plants and soil in the vicinity of the western coast of Georgia. It is shown that the intensity of their accumulation depends on the type of plant, the place of sampling and the ecological zone. The highest rate of natural radionuclides is 40K, and the lowest - 226Ra, from the technogenic radionuclides the high-quality activeness is characterized to 137Cs, and its accumulation is the highest in the soil. From the hard metals, the plants most actively absorb lead and cadmium.
