Keywords: Mineralization; Wheat straw; Cs-137; Sr-90; C-14; Chernobyl

Abstract: ► We observed the impact of contamination with Cs-137 and Sr-90 on soil functions. ► Microbial community was altered slightly. ► Mineralization of wheat straw was not affected. ► Microbes growing on applied straw compete for nutrients with soil microbes.
