Saprotrophic Fungus Induces Microscale Mineral Weathering to Source Potassium in a Carbon-Limited Environment
Plants rely on potassium for many critical biological processes, but most soils are potassium limited. Moving potassium from the inaccessible, mineral-bound pool to a more bioavailable form is crucial for sustainably increasing local potassium concentrations for plant growth and health. Here, we use...
