Soil models may improve safety of wheat amid cadmium contamination
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, poses a growing threat to food safety through its accumulation in crops. Wheat, in particular, tends to absorb more cadmium than rice due to its higher internal transport efficiency. In China's rice–wheat rotation systems, wheat grains often exceed cadmium safety limits, despite adherence to national soil quality standards.
