- Intervention effect Under Cd treatment, root Cd concentration decreased over time.
- Intervention effect Under Cd treatment, leaf Cd concentration increased over time.
- Intervention effect High As doses inhibited growth.
- Observation Plants died at high As doses.
- Observation Cardoon rapidly took up arsenic in roots and accumulated it in aerial parts.
- Association Cardoon tissue As concentration rose with applied As concentration.
- Intervention effect Combined Cd and As treatment improved resistance to both elements.
- Intervention effect Cd increased cardoon translocation of As from root to shoot.
- Intervention effect Cd plus As increased As tolerance up to 45 days compared with As alone.
- Intervention effect Cd plus As increased cardoon phytoextraction ability.
