Effect of soil application of biochar produced from Cd-enriched maize on the available Cd in a calcareous soil
This study aims to investigate the effect of pyrolysis (400 °C) on the stabilization of cadmium (Cd) during soil application of maize ( Zea mays L.)...
-
Alteration in chemical form and subcellular distribution of cadmium in maize (Zea mays L.) after NTA-assisted remediation of a spiked calcareous soil
Phytoremediation has been proposed as a cost-effective method for removing potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from the soil. In this regard,...
