The in situ phytoextraction of cadmium from soils can only be achieved using plants that are both tolerant to high Cd concentrations and able to extract sufficient amounts of the metal. However, very few plant species are capable of remediating Cd polluted soils in a reasonable time frame. This paper aims to show that the population of the hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens J. & C. Presl. from Viviez (south of France), which has a high Cd-accumulating capability, is an efficient tool to remove Cd from contaminated soils. Roots of T. caerulescens Viviez proliferate in hot spots of metals in soils which is particularly advantageous because of heterogeneity of the distribution of metal in polluted soils. Isotopic techniques showed that plants from this population acquire Cd from the same pools as non-accumulating species, but that it was much more efficient than non-hyperaccumulators at removing the metal from the soil labile pool. This is due: to (i) a specific rooting strategy, and (ii) a high uptake rate resulting from the existence in this population of Cd-specific transport channels or carriers in the root membrane. Growth and overall extraction can be improved with appropriate N fertilisation, supplied either as mineral fertilisers or uncontaminated sewage sludge. Selecting bigger plants is possible from within a suitable Cd-accumulating population to improve the phytoextraction process. Growing the Cd-accumulating populations results in a reduction in the availability of Cd and Zn as shown with field and lysimeter experiments conducted for several years. As a result, on a practical aspect, Cd hyperaccumulating populations of T. caerulescens may be used as a tool to efficiently reduce the availability of Cd in soils, providing appropriate populations are used.
