Cadmium is one of the major environmental pollutants and a potential hazard to worldwide agriculture
However, attempts to define the rhizospheric boundaries have primarily taken a more holistic view, focusing on considerations of specific soil contexts and the activity or properties of the chemical of interest. With improved methods of capturing the spatiotemporal dynamics of the rhizosphere in devices like the imagining EcoFAB, a third or perhaps unifying definition of the…

Agricultural groundwater banking must be approached with caution
To reflect the mixing of soil horizons in the calculation of the deep percolation factor, the depth-weighted average of Ksat for the entire soil profile was used in place of the lowest Ksat for each profile. We reduced the deep percolation factor rating for soils with claypans by 20% to reflect the risk that modified…
