AbstractThis dataset contains information on Sr-90 and Cs-137 contamination and other parameters of forest ecosystems in the Ukrainian part of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, collected from 2005 to 2020. Observation periods for each site are provided here. All Sr-90 and Cs-137 content data are presented as of the sampling period. Detailed processing methods and data are published in the papers below.
