This paper systematically investigated the impact of various planting methods on soil Cd levels,forms,bioavailability,and remediation efficiency,as well as plant Cd content,enrichment,and transfer across different regions and soil strata. The aim was to identify planting techniques capable of effectively mitigating soil cadmium (Cd) contamination and substantially lowering soil Cd levels. This was achieved by gathering and synthesizing relevant data and literature from the China National Knowledge Network. The relevant mechanisms and their effects on bioavailability were briefly examined. The findings revealed substantial variations in soil and plant Cd concentrations,along with restoration efficiency,across different planting strategies. Additionally,they indicated that tailored planting strategies could enhance local soil restoration efficacy. The exchangeable,reducible,oxidizable,and residual Cd contents in the soil were significantly greater under single and intercropping conditions than they were under rotation and continuous cropping. This study investigated the effects of different planting tactics on the remediation of heavy metal Cd contamination in soil-plant systems in order to gain a better understanding of the role that planting techniques play in cleaning up heavy metal pollution in soil. Future research on Cd content and speciation within the soil-plant system across diverse plant and soil types,along with various planting practices,will be essential to corroborate and reinforce the present conclusions.
