This report  synthesizes the labour of members of the GEA-IMASL (Universidad Nacional de San Luis / Conicet, Argentina), in the framework of an IAEA contractual agreement, with the purpose of contributing to the new version of the IAEA - ?Handbook of Parameter Value for Predicting of Radionuclide transfer in temperate Environment ? Technical Reports Series n. 364?. According to the IAEA requirements, the work was focused to the following points:  I.             Review of available information published in literature until 2005 and compilation of  databases of: I.a.   Radionuclide transfer factors from soil to plant; I.b.   Radionuclide vertical migration along soil profile; for tropical and subtropical environments and for South American countries. II.       The statistical elaboration of the created databases  III.       The identification of information gaps in the available literature.
