Abstract:
      A incubation experiment was carried out to examine the effects of different amendments(chicken manure, peat and lime) on Cd availability in four different types of Cd contaminated soils(Yunnan lateritic red soil, Jiangxi red soil, Jilin black soil and Neimeng chestnut soil). All treatments significantly reduced available Cd contents in all soils. After 60 days of incubation, immobilization rate of available Cd by chicken manure were 37.0%, 52.7%, 29.3% and 49.6% for Yunnan lateritic red soil, Jiangxi red soil, Jilin black soil and Neimeng chestnut soils, respectively. Peat amendment reduced Cd availability by 33.1%, 51.7%, 30.5% and 51.2% in Yunnan lateritic red soil, Jiangxi red soil, Jilin black soil and Neimeng chestnut soils respectively. Lime had greater rates of Cd immobilization, which were 60.7%, 55.5%, 40.7% and 41.7% for Yunnan lateritic red soil, Jiangxi red soil, Jilin black soil and Neimeng chestnut soils, respectively. In conclusion, lime is a better immobilizer of Cd in acidic Cd-contaminated soils, but organic amendments perform better than lime in both neutral and alkaline soils.
