Speciation and distribution of cadmium in soils of the Prairies

Most of the Cd in grain results from plant uptake from soils which could vary in Cd concentrations depending largely on the type of soil parent material. This project will compare paired pedons of cultivated and uncultivated soils in the agricultural regions of the Prairies for their cadmium levels, distribution within soil profiles and the phytoavailability of the Cd in these soils.
