Large-extent spatial heterogeneity of soil bioavailable micronutrients and the relative roles of environmental indicators on them within maize fields

Soil bioavailable micronutrients have a significant impact on soil fertility, soil quality, maize production, and even environmental quality. However, minimal research has been conducted to characterize the spatial patterns of soil bioavailable micronutrients at the large spatial extent within the m...

In the study, topsoil samples (0–20 cm of plough depth, totaling 4,448) were collected from maize field to determine the spatial heterogeneity of soil bioavailable micronutrients including iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and boron (B), and to assess the relative effect of environmental indicators on them.
