Abstract
Abstract: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a novel Cd-contaminated soils amendment for phytoremediation. However, the phytoremediation efficiency for different DOM doses has been insufficiently investigated. In this study, we investigated the effect of five DOM doses (v/w, 0%, 1%, 2%, 4% and 8%) on the phytoremediation efficiency of cotton in Cd-contaminated soil through pot experiment. The results showed that bioavailable Cd concentrations and organic matter in the soil increased with the increased of DOM dosage. The DOM dose increased the chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, and the total biomass of cotton. In addition, the DOM application increased the Cd content in cotton roots and changed the Cd uptake in cotton shoots, increasing shoot Cd extraction efficiency by 8.53–20%. Simultaneously, soil Cd phytoextraction efficiency significantly increased. Furthermore, applying a 1% DOM dose resulted in safeguarding fibre biomass and maximising the efficiency of shoot extraction. Redundancy analysis showed that the Mn content in leaves is critical for increasing cotton biomass, anti-oxidation competence and phytoremediation efficiency under 1% DOM dose. In conclusion, DOM enhanced cotton remediation in Cd-contaminated soils and applying DOM at 1% was a suitable choice for Cd-contaminated soils.
