Abstract: The situation resulting from the Chernobyl fallout in 1987 was compared to that in 2000–2001 in Finland and NW Russia and that in 2003 in the Baltic countries. 786 humus (0–3 cm layer) samples were collected during 2000–2001 in the Barents Ecogeochemistry Project, and 177 samples in the Baltic countries in 2003. Nuclides emitting γ-radiation in the 0–3 cm humus layer were measured by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority–STUK in Finland.
