Abstract

AMF significantly increased the GRSP content and the macroaggregate proportion in soil, which contributed to reducing the Cd concentration in pore water and its leaching loss from soil.

Keywords: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus; cadmium leaching; glomalin-related soil protein; macroaggregate; pore water.
