Some thoughts on the biogeochemical cycling of potassium in terrestrial ecosystems
WH Schlesinger - Biogeochemistry, 2021 - Springer
Potassium presents a conundrum for biogeochemists. Potassium is cycled wastefully at the
plant level, but it appears to be conserved in the nutrient budgets of entire ecosystems …
