Abstract: Based on the long-term field experiment at Hailun Agro-ecosystem Experimental Station of Chinese Academy of Sciences, this paper studied the cadmium (Cd) accumulation, its development tendency, and Cd availability in black soil under effects of long-term application of chemical N and P fertilizers and pig manure. The results showed that under no fertilization, soil Cd concentration had a slight increase. Long-term chemical N and P fertilization increased soil Cd concentration significantly, but soil Cd accumulation had less difference under different N and P fertilization rates. Applying pig manure increased the Cd accumulation in soil significantly, and the accumulation had a tendency of speed-up. Cd-containing feedstuff additives could be the important source of Cd in pig manure. No significant effects of chemical N and P fertilization were observed on the Cd availability in soil, but long-term application of pig manure increased the Cd availability significantly.
