Background and aims: Since few studies have existed in the literature about the effect of zinc (Zn) on cadmium (Cd) chemical forms in soils. Therefore, this study has been performed to determine the impact of Zn on cadmium Cd chemical forms in two soil textural classes in Fars province-Iran at two soil water content (SWC) (flooded soil water content (FSWC) and field capacity soil water content (FCSWC)) and study the kinetic modeling of Cd.Methods and materials: Variables were three levels of Cd (0, 30 and 60 mg kg-1 of soil as CdSO4·8H2O), three levels of Zn (0, 5 and 10 mg kg-1 of soil as Zn-EDTA) three level Incubation times (2, 4 and eight weeks), two soil textural classes (clay and sandy clay loam) and two SWC. The randomized completed block design (RCBD) was used for this experiment. The Tessier sequential extraction method was used to determine the Cd concentration in (WsEx), (Fe-MnOx), (Car), (Om) and (Res) chemical forms. Results: In the FSWC, Zn reduced the Cd concentration in Fe-MnOx, Car and Om forms and increased the WsEx but had no significant effect on the Res form. Changes in the Cd chemical forms under the in-fluence of Zn in both soils followed a similar trend. In the FCSWC, Zn reduced the Cd concentration Car and Om forms and increased the Cd concentration in the Fe-MnOx and WsEx forms while had no sig-nificant effect on Res form in the sandy clay loam soil. In the clay soil adding Zn reduced the Cd con-centration in Car and Om fractions and increased the Fe-MnOx and Res forms while has no significant effect on WsEx form. The competitive transport and adsorption Interactions between these two ions caused the changing in the Cd concentration in its chemical forms. Zn reduces the Cd concentration in the forms which are easily released into the soil solution from where they can be absorbed by plants. The power function kinetic mode is the best fitted model which can describe the Cd adsorption in our soil samples. The clay and organic compounds control the Cd adsorption in soils. The higher rate of Cd adsorption in almost all shaking times shows that Cd has more ability to occupy the adsorption sites in soils.
