Uptake of Radionuclides by Bryophytes in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone
Toxics, 2023 The “Chernobyl nuclear disaster” released huge amounts of radionuclides, which are still detectable in plants and sediments today. Bryophytes (mosses) are primitive land plants lacking roots and protective cuticles and therefore readily accumulate ...
