The bioconcentration coefficient of heavy metal Cd in rice from different parent material areas was as follows: quaternary sediment area > carbonate parent material area > clastic parent material area > granite parent material area. The enrichment of Cd in rice was affected by soil pH and CaO. When the soil pH value was in the range of 5.5-6.5, the Cd content and exceeding rate of rice seed increased significantly.
