A mechanistic understanding of the effect of lime and compost on soil cadmium availability in cacao farms
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/178412
Abstract
To develop soil amendments that effectively lower cadmium uptake by food crops, a mechanistic understanding is needed of the factors influencing Cd availability in amended soils. This insight is highly relevant in the context of food safety regulations affecting the cacao sector in Latin America. Geochemical multisurface models (MSMs) can be used to generate such knowledge, yet their…
