Abstract: The patterns of concentration of the Cs-137 derived from the Chernobyl accident were analysed in a series of vertical profiles ofSphagnum collected at two peatlands in the southern Alps. The peak concentrations of the Chernobyl radiocesium were found in segments ofSphagnum located at different distances from the growing apex, probably corresponding to the plant tissues produced in the 1986 vegetation season.
