Ball-Milling-Modified Biochar with Additives Enhances Soil Cd Passivation, Increases Plant Growth and Restrains Cd Uptake by Chinese Cabbage

Horticulturae
Biochar is a popular amendment in Cd polluted soil. However, the performance of bulk biochar is still less than satisfactory, so effective modification is very important to improve its capacity to adsorb Cd.
