Abstract excerpt
Soil cadmium (Cd) contamination poses serious risks to plant productivity and human food safety. Farmlands contaminated with Cd are often simultaneously affected by microplastics (MPs) and low phosphorus (LP) availability. This study investigated the combined effects of Cd, LP, and polyethylene microplastics (PE) on Cd uptake in two ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) genotypes, WALR60 and SULR1, contrasting in their...
