PurposeWe aimed to examine the effects of spatial heterogeneity on Zn/Cd removal efficiency by the Zn/Cd hyperaccumulatorSedum alfrediigrown on agricultural soil contaminated with mine waste.Materials and methodsField-collected metal-contaminated agricultural soils were arranged in pots either homogeneously or heterogeneously in “half” or “quarter” patterns. Young shoots ofS. alfrediiwere grown on these substrates in a greenhouse.Results and discussionThe efficiency of Zn and Cd removal from soil byS. alfrediiwas highest in the “quarter” pattern heterogeneous treatment, in which the percentages of total soil Zn and Cd extracted were 8.02 and 7.27, respectively. Comparing the two heterogeneous treatments, the amounts of Zn and Cd accumulated inS. alfrediishoots were significantly greater in the “quarter” pattern heterogeneous treatment than in the “half” pattern treatment.ConclusionsWe concluded that the efficiency of Zn/Cd removal increased as the scale of spatial heterogeneity decreased from “half” to “quarter”. These results may have important implications for the efficiency of phytoremediation by hyperaccumulators in the field.
