Biochar reduces the cadmium content of Panax quinquefolium L. by improving rhizosphere microecology

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium L.) can negatively impact its yield and safety. Our previous study found that biochar could reduce cadmium content of P. quinquefolius, however, the mechanism was yet to be elucidated. In the present study, we tested four treatments in order to reveal the mechanism by which this phenomenon occurs: control, Cd, Cd + biochar and biochar. The results showed that the following responses were induced by the addition of biochar under Cd stress. Firstly, the soil physicochemical properties were improved, this is especially true for the soil pH value and soil organic matter content, which were increased by 20.42 % and 15.57 %, respectively. Secondly, the relative abundances of several beneficial microorganism phyla; such as Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota and Actinobacteria; were increased by 10.69 %, 20.11 % and 60.86 %, respectively. Thirdly, treatment with biochar reduced the Cd content by increasing cadmium-chelated metabolites within the soil (e.g., naringenin, caffeic acid, and valine) and increasing detoxification substances in plants (e.g., malic acid, flavonoids, and fumaric acid). Changes in these metabolites were significantly correlated with rhizosphere microecology. In summary, biochar treatment reduced the Cd content in seedlings by improving the soil properties, rhizosphere community, soil metabolites, and plant metabolites.
