Abstract:
      This study investigated the adsorption and desorption of Cd on farmland soils with long-term application of biochar and explored the effect of biochar on the bioavailability of Cd in the soil in combination with long-term field trials of rice and wheat rotation. The results of experiments showed that compared with the control farmland soil, the larger the amount of biochar applied, the stronger the Cd adsorption and fixation capacity of the corresponding treated soil had. This was mainly due to the fact that the addition of biochar could increase the pH, cation exchange capacity, and organic matter content of the farmland soil, thereby reducing the exchangeable content of Cd in the soil and further inhibiting the migration of Cd from the soil into rice and wheat. The results provide theoretical guidance and technical support for Cd-contaminated soil remediation.
