- Intervention effect Low pH reduced chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate.
- Intervention effect Al treatment reduced root length, shoot height and dry weight.
- Intervention effect Al treatment reduced chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate.
- Observation Zhechun 2 accumulated more Al and Cd than Liao 1.
- Intervention effect pH 4.0 significantly increased plant Cd and Al concentrations relative to pH 6.5.
- Intervention effect Combined Cd and Al increased their root accumulation.
- Intervention effect Combined Cd and Al reduced their shoot accumulation.
- Intervention effect Lower pH raised concentrations of the nutrients other than Mo.
- Intervention effect Al decreased most nutrient concentrations in roots and shoots.
- Intervention effect Al increased root K, Mn and Zn.
- Intervention effect Cd alone reduced plant nutrient concentrations.
- Intervention effect Cd with Al reduced plant nutrient concentrations.
- Observation Zhechun 2 had lower nutrient concentration than Liao 1.
- Mechanism Authors infer synergistic Al and Cd effects on growth, physiology and nutrient uptake.
