Systematic evaluation of plant metals/metalloids accumulation efficiency: a global synthesis of bioaccumulation and translocation factors by Wenbin Huang, Wenbin Huang, Chengnian Zhang, Bowei Zhu, Xiaoying Liu, Huxuan Xiao, Huxuan Xiao, Shibin Liu, Shibin Liu, Shibin Liu, Huaiyong Shao

“…As soil pH increases, the BF of Cd and Zinc (Zn) decrease, whereas the BF of lead (Pb) increases, likely due to their distinct chemical behaviors under different pH conditions. Threshold concentrations were also identified for several for metals/metalloids (e.g., Cd: 214.8 mg kg-1; Pb: 31352.3 mg kg-1), beyond which BF falls below 1.0, indicating diminished accumulation efficiency due to toxicity constraints. …”
