| Abstract: |
| In this study, the enrichment characteristics and purification capacity of Trifolium repens for cadmium in soil were investigated in order to provide a reference for ecological restoration of cadmium. The results showed that the added value of T. repens biomass reached 2.0~3.7 g, indicating that T. repens could have a high tolerance for cadmium. Cadmium accumulation in the roots, stems, and leaves of T. repens reached 178.6, 101.3 mg·kg-1, and 130.9 mg·kg-1, respectively, as the concentration of cadmium increased. The bioaccumulation factor values of the roots, stems, and leaves were 9.7~17.9, 3.0~10.1, and 3.1~13.1, respectively, and the ability of cadmium to accumulate in different parts of T. repens was decreased in the order of roots > leaves > stems. The translocation factor values for cadmium in T. repens were all greater than 1(except T2 treatment). These data indicated that T. repens could have a strong capacity for cadmium enrichment and could easily transport cadmium into the soil. The amount of cadmium uptake of T. repens increased diversely with the different cadmium treatments in soils; in particular, the cadmium uptake of the aboveground parts(stems and leaves) of T. repens reached 87.2%, and the purifying rate of cadmium in soils was as high as 6.2%. Based on these findings, T. repens was found to have promising applications in beautifying surroundings and repairing cadmium-contaminated soils. |
