The new EU regulation on cadmium (Cd) in cacao-derived products affects the cacao market
worldwide. Here, we reviewed the journey of Cd from soil to chocolate bar and collated …

Heavy metals are among the major environmental pollutants and the accumulation of these
metals in soils is of great concern in agricultural production due to the toxic effects on crop …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a specific category of microbes that
improve plant growth and promote greater tolerance to metal stress through their …

Abstract Initial Cadmium (Cd) isotope fractionation studies in cereals ascribed the retention
of Cd and its light isotopes to the binding of Cd to sulfur (S). To better understand the relation …

The application of mineral phosphate (P) fertilizers leads to an unintended Cd input into
agricultural systems, which might affect soil fertility and quality of crops. The Cd fluxes at …

Cadmium isotopic compositions in non-contaminated systems and anthropogenic sources of
Cd generally have different isotopic signatures. Cadmium isotopes, as a novel tracer, can be …

Rice roots and leaves were exposed to cadmium (Cd)-contaminated particles in a
greenhouse to modify the fractionation during Cd uptake and transport in the plants by using …

Analyses of stable metal isotope ratios constitute a novel tool in order to improve our
understanding of biogeochemical processes in soil–plant systems. In this study, we used …

Cadmium (Cd) isotopes are known to fractionate during complexation with various
environmentally relevant surfaces and ligands. Our results, which were obtained using (i) …

Phytoremediation efficiency can be enhanced by regulating rhizosphere processes, and the
Cd isotope is a useful approach for deciphering Cd transport processes in soil–plant …
