Four groups were fed with cadmium, molybdenum, cadmium-molybdenum, and copper-cadmium-molybdenum respectively for 130 days to determine the elements' metabolic interactions in calves. These results indicated that cadmium and molybdenum could increase the accumulation of molybdenum and cadmium in liver and kidneys in buffalo calves, but copper could not. reduce to normal the levels of molybdenum and cadmium in liver and kidneys caused by cadmium-molybdenum. In addition, we found the copper concentrations in liver and kindeys was significantly greater in treatment calves than in controls.展开更多

Two-year old seedlings were exposed for 180 days to soil concentrations with varying cadmium and lead concentra- tions. We measured three wood anatomical traits, average vessel area （gm2）, vessel number per square millimetre, and vessel lumen area per- centage （%）. For assessing the cadmium and lead accumulation, we measured the concentrations in the soil, leaf, stem, and root. Average vessel area and vessel lumen area percentage were similar （p〉0.05） in control and treated seedlings. Vessel number per square millimetre showed a decreasing trend from pith to bark in control and treated seed- lings, and the trend was more pronounced in treated seedlings. We con- clude that vessel number per square millimetre in A. velutinum is influ- enced by soil contamination. A. velutinum Boiss is not a suitable species for remediation of soils contaminated by cadmium and lead but it can be used as an indicator of the soil lead contamination, because lead concentrations in seedlings increased with increasing amount of lead in the soil.展开更多
