Abstract
Cadmium was added to the soil at two concentration levels in 1973. Samplings were made at six occasions in 1974. Movement of cadmium in the soil appeared to be very slow and most added cadmium (70% or more) was retained in the uppermost 5 cm of the soil. Less than 10% of total cadmium in the ecosystem was found in the biomass. The plant Cd concentration in relation to soil content and distribution in the biomass differed markedly between the treatments. Root Cd concentration exceeded that in soil and was several times the concentration in aboveground organs. Gradually towards the top of the plant the Cd concentration decreased in the following order: new roots > old roots > rhizomes > stem leaf-stalks > stems stem leaf-blades > sexual reproductive organs.
