It is important to provide a more comprehensive understanding of cadmium (Cd) input and output in different contamination zones. In this study, we choose 15 sampling areas in three types of contamination zones (industrial and mining, suburb, and rural) to systematically study the inventory of soil Cd input and output in Changzhutan (CZT) urban agglomerations, Hunan Province, China. The results showed that the value of total Cd input in industrial and mining (34.58 g/ha/year) was respectively about 2 and 3 times of that in suburb and in rural. Meanwhile, the total output flux in industrial and mining also presented highest value (38.67 g/ha/year) among the zones. As for the contributions, atmospheric deposition was responsible for 85–89% of the total input fluxes, which was significantly higher than those of irrigation water and fertilizer. Crop harvesting, especially straw removal, was the dominant output pathway, contributing 66–78%. Moreover, Cd annual balance illustrated that the net input fluxes under straw removal scenario were negative in all zones, and it was opposite under straw returning scenario. Further, the changes of soil Cd concentrations under straw returning and straw removal scenario were compared by a dynamic mathematical model. The modeling results presented that the soil Cd content continued to increase under straw returning in 100 years, while it was declining under straw removal scenario. This prediction indicated straw removal was an important remediation for Cd-polluted paddy soil, especially in Hunan. Nevertheless, more treatment measures need to conduct to reach the safety limits in paddy soil.
