Abstract

The paper determines the buffer capacity of humic psammozem, accumulative-carbonate agrozem, and agrobrown soil as related to cadmium. It studies the influence of the buffer capacity of soils on the dynamics of height, biological productivity, and level of cadmium accumulation in the biomass of the garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) with growing doses of the metal. We revealed the ability of the garden cress to accumulate high amounts of cadmium, which exceed the maximum permissible sanitary doses manifold even at the low concentrations of the element in the soils.
