Atmospheric deposition and flood inputs dominate paddy soil cadmium accumulation in Southern China: A multi-process model coupling input and output pathways.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy soils poses a serious threat to food safety in southern China, yet the dominant processes driving regional Cd accumulation remain poorly quantified. We developed a high-resolution, mass balance-based multi-process…
