There was general agreement that the potassium recommendations currently in general use are oversimplified, outdated, and jeopardize soil, plant, and human health. Accordingly, this book puts forward a significantly expanded K cycle that more accurately depicts K inputs, losses and transformations in soils. This new cycle serves as both the conceptual basis for the scientific discussions in this book and a framework upon which to build future improvements. Previously used approaches are critically reviewed and assessed, not only for their relevance to future enhancements, but also for their use as metrics of sustainability. An initial effort is made to link K nutrition in crops and K nutrition in humans. The book offers an invaluable asset for graduate students, educators, industry scientists, data scientists, and advanced agronomists.AgriculturePlant biochemistrySoil scienceSoil conservationApplied ecologyAgriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Plant Biochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021Soil Science & Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000Applied Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023AgriculturePlant BiochemistrySoil Science & ConservationApplied EcologySoil ScienceBioavailable PotassiumFertilizer ManagementPlant NutritionPotashSoil ChemistrySustainabilityOpen accessAgricultural scienceBotany & plant sciencesBiochemistrySedimentology & pedologyAgriculture.Plant biochemistry.Soil science.Soil conservation.Applied ecology.Agriculture.Plant Biochemistry.Soil Science & Conservation.Applied Ecology.630631.83Murrell T.
