High precipitation rates increase potassium density in plant communities in the Tibetan Plateau

Abstract Potassium is essential for plant growth. However, our understanding of potassium in plant materials is limited due to a lack of systematic studies. Here, we measured potassium content in 2,040 ecosystem communities during the period 2019-2021 applying grid-sampling and explored the spatial...
