[Remediation Mechanism of Chitosan-modified Biochar on Cd-contaminated Farmland Soil and Its Effect on Bacterial Community].

To explore the remediation mechanism of chitosan-modified biochar （passivator） on Cd-contaminated farmland soil, pot experiments were conducted to determine the effects of passivator on soil physical and chemical properties, ryegrass biomass, enzyme activity, and the response of soil bacterial diversity and structure. The results showed that when the amount of passivating agent was increased from 0.5% to 3%, the content of available Cd in soil was significantly decreased compared with that in the control, and the above-ground and subsurface biomass of ryegrass was increased by 1.08-1.56 times and 1.00-1.68 times, respectively. The enrichment and running coefficients were reduced by 6.15%-30.00% and 10.42%-31.25%, respectively. The correlation analysis results showed that soil pH, CEC, SOM, AN, AP, and AK were significantly negatively correlated with DTPA-Cd, indicating that the application of a passivating agent promoted the passivation of Cd in soil by changing the physical and chemical properties of soil. High-throughput sequencing results showed that the application of the inactivation agent changed the structure and diversity of the soil bacterial community, which was manifested as a significant decrease in α diversity, significant isolation of bacteria between different treatment groups, and an increase in the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Sphingomonas and Blastococcus. Moreover, the activities of soil urease and cellulase increased, whereas the activities of sucrase and catalase decreased with the addition of a passivator. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical reference for the application of modified biochar in the remediation of Cd-contaminated farmland soil.
