During the rice growth cycle, the average available cadmium concentration (C(A-Cd)) in the soil determines the Cd content in rice plant. Given defined soil properties and rice varieties, the meteorological factors play a crucial role in soil's available cadmium concentration (C(Cd)) during the rice growth cycle. Thus, it is significant to investigate the influence of meteorological factors in C(Cd) during the rice growth cycle and develop a predictive model for C(A-Cd). The rice was cultivated under seven different sowing dates in Cd and As-contaminated soil in Hunan Province. Studied the impa...
