    Abstract:
    Rice (Oryza sativa L.) consumption represents a major route of human exposure to cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As), especially in Asia. This study investigated the effects of adding MnSO4 (0, 200, 400, and 800 mg kg-1-1) on the formation of soil Fe/Mn oxides and Cd and As uptake in rice. The application of MnSO4 reduced soil pH, increased Eh, increased the contents of Fe/Mn oxides in the soil, and decreased the total Fe and Mn2+ contents in the porewater. It also led to lower contents of available Cd and As, higher levels of Cd and As bound to Fe/Mn oxides, and higher abundances of Thiobacillus and Syntrophobacter. Furthermore, Mn application increased the Fe and Mn contents in the root Fe/Mn plaque and decreased the grain Cd and As contents. Therefore, Mn application may modify the microbial community and porewater composition in soil, resulting in higher levels of Fe/Mn oxides in soil and Fe/Mn plaque at the root surface and in a lower accumulation of Cd and As in rice grains. Thus, Mn application can be a promising strategy for Cd and As stabilization in soils.
