ABSTRACT
Karst regions are relatively short of arable land, but heavy metals are at high levels in arable land.
Under this circumstance, different tillage methods have different effects on the activity of heavy metals
in soil. In this study, through field experiments and lab analysis, the effects of different rotation systems
on the activity of heavy metals and the transport and enrichment of heavy metals in soil when rape
and rice were in different growth stages were analyzed. The results show that in rice-rape rotation,
the distribution of the heavy metal content in soil was different. The contents of Cr, Pb and Cu in soil
were at the level of “clean” and the content of Cd was at the level of middle pollution. The sequence
of the enrichment factors in the growth of the rape was: Cd>Cu>Pb>Cr and its ability to accumulate
the same heavy metal varied from different growth stages; leaf, root and stem were main enrichment
organs, among which stem had the weakest enrichment ability for Cu, root was the main enrichment
organ for Pb and rape had relatively weaker enrichment and transport ability for Cr. Rice mainly
accumulated Cd and Cu; it had relatively weaker enrichment ability for heavy meals in the seedling and
tillering stages; its enrichment ability for Cd was gradually strengthened; and heavy metals were mainly
enriched in rice’s root system in various growth stages.
