[Effects of amendments on the alleviation of aluminum toxicity and cadmium and zinc uptake by Sedum plumbizincicola in acid soils].

To explore the effects of some chemical amendments on the plant growth and phytoextraction efficiencies of cadmium (Cd)/zinc (Zn) hyper accumulator Sedum plumbizincicola in acid soils with high aluminum (Al) toxicity, a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted. Different kinds and dosages of amendments including calciummagnesium-phosphorus fertilizer (CMP), magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH₂POPO₄ ) were added. The results showed that CMP and MgCO₃ increased soil pH and decreased soil exchangeable Al concentration to some extent, while KH₂PO₄ reduced soil exchangeable Al concentration but had little effect on increasing soil pH. Proper application (9.39 mg/kg) of CMP could improve the biomass and Cd and Zn phytoextraction efficiencies by S. plumbizincicola but it would inhibit plant growth and phytoextraction performance when exceeding 9.39 mg/kg. MgCO₃ addition enhanced plant metal uptake while KH₂PO₄ presented an opposite effect. It suggests that using CMP and MgCO₃ could alleviate Al toxicity to S. plumbizincicola in acid soils and maintain relatively high metal extraction efficiency.
