Hyperaccumulators' Diversity Enhances Cd-Contaminated Soil Restoration and Reduces Rice Cd Uptake under an Intercropping System.

Cd accumulation in rice-cultivated soils across China is a major problem that needs to be tackled. A plot experiment was carried out using heavy metal (HM) hyperaccumulators L. and (L.

Hyperaccumulator L. Intercropping Reduced Rice Cadmium Uptake under a High-Bed and Low-Ditch Planting System.

Anthropogenic activities have raised cadmium (Cd) concentrations in agricultural soil, emerging as a primary catalyst for the decline in crop yield. Intercropping of two or several plants is one technique among many Cd phytoremediation techniques that has gained enormous attention recently. However, the impact of cultivation modes on Cd movement in rice plants when intercropped with heavy metal (HM) hyperaccumulator plants remains unclear.

Identity and Diversity of Invasive Plant Affecting the Growth of Native .

Despite the significant number of studies that have recently focused on plant invasion and invasive plants' success, many uncertainties still exist on the effects of invasive plant identity and diversity on the native plant response under different levels of diversity. A mixed planting experiment was conducted using the native () and four invasive plants. The treatments consisted of 1, 2, 3, and 4 levels of invasive plants richness in different combinations in competition with the native .

Treated Livestock Wastewater Irrigation Is Safe for Maize () and Soybean () Intercropping System Considering Heavy Metals Migration in Soil-Plant System.

Water deficit is a major problem affecting crop production worldwide. The use of treated wastewater in irrigation systems improves soil health and enhances crop growth and productivity. However, it has been characterized as a source of heavy metals.

Effect of Soil Type on Native Performance under Single Invasion and Co-Invasion.

Native and invasive plant competition is usually controlled by the soil properties and the soil type underlying interspecific interactions. However, many uncertainties exist regarding the impact of soil type on native plant growth under single invasion and co-invasion despite the significant number of previous studies that focused on plant invasion. This study aims to elucidate the effects of soil type on the response of the native plant under single invasion and co-invasion.
