Cadmium in soils and groundwater: A review.

TLDR
The elevated mobilization potential, e.g., through competition and ligand induced desorption, is the reason for faster Cd release from soil into groundwater than other heavy metals.

The mechanism of cadmium sorption by sulphur-modified wheat straw biochar and its application cadmium-contaminated soil.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that sulphur was successfully loaded on the pristine biochar and there was a considerable discrepancy between adsorption mechanisms of Cd on BC and SBC, and the Cd immobilization effects of BC andSBC in Cd-contaminated soils.
