Abstract
The problem of radioactive contamination of soils within the area of the Opole Anomaly (Polish–Czech region border) was considered. The modes of radiocaesium (137Cs) accumulation in fungi, lichen, and plants were analyzed and their application as bioindicators for this isotope was discussed. The results were correlated to the physiochemical properties of soils. Moreover, a computer estimation of the parameters describing the translocation of 137Cs in soil was conducted and their influence on the course of the process was determined.
