The growth performance of Salix triandroides cuttings at three water cadmium (Cd) concentrations (0, 20, and 40mgL−1) and three water levels (− 40cm, water level 40cm below the soil surface; 0cm, water level even with the soil surface; and 40cm, water level 40cm above soil surface) was investigated to evaluate its potential in phytoextraction strategies. Compared to cuttings in the − 40 or 0cm water levels, cuttings in the 40cm water level showed significantly lower biomass, height, and adventitious root length and significantly fewer leaves...
