| Abstract | Soil
cadmium (Cd) contamination threatens ecosystems and crop safety.
Understanding how individual climate change factors influence soil Cd
bioavailability is essential for mechanistic understanding and future
risk assessments. This study examined individual and combined effects of
elevated temperature (+4°C) and doubled atmospheric CO2 (800
ppmv) on soil Cd bioavailability, biogeochemistry, and greenhouse gas
emissions in agricultural soils with native (0.13 mg Cd kg-1) and high Cd (1.5 mg Cd kg-1). Elevated temperature increased porewater Cd up to 50% relative to ambient, while doubled atmospheric CO2
did not alter porewater Cd. Combined future conditions increased
porewater Cd by 30% relative to ambient indicating an antagonistic
interaction. Doubled atmospheric CO2 enhanced microbial
nitrogen fixation and reduced ammonium oxidation, increasing ammonium
concentrations up to 10-fold relative to ambient. Elevated temperature
stimulated microbiome activity and ammonium oxidation, leading to
1.7-fold more CO2 and 5.5-fold more N2O compared
to ambient, both exceeding levels observed under combined future
climate. These contrasting single-factor responses highlight the
non-additive nature of combined climate factor effects. Warming alone
overestimated and CO2 alone underestimated the combined
impact on Cd mobility and soil biogeochemistry. Simulating multiple
climate drivers is therefore essential for accurate environmental
prediction and sustainable Cd management under climate change. |
