Quantifying the dual role of river network density in cadmium accumulation from mining area (source) to agricultural soil (sink) and implications for mitigation strategies.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in croplands, often exacerbated by mining-polluted irrigation water, is a global environmental challenge. However, the role of river networks in modulating Cd transport and accumulation remains poorly understood, hindering…
