Soil cadmium distribution and its relationship to pasture plant uptake and management
Massey University PhD project: Aaron Stafford
Completed 2017
Introduction
Aaron Stafford’s research seeks to improve national understanding of:
- soil Cd variability within long-term dairy farms
- variability in Cd accumulation between different forage plant species and the consequent risk to livestock grazing these forages
- soil/environmental factors and management/mitigation options that can influence Cd phytoavailability.
