Cover Story: Approaching tree crop nutrient management from an ecosystem perspective means considering nutrient cycling dynamics throughout the entire soil-water-plant system. While nitrogen and phosphorus cycling have received substantial and well-deserved attention, studies on potassium (K) cycling are less common despite its central role in plant function. Developing fruits can be a substantial K sink. Retaining K-rich crop residues in the tree crop system as organic matter amendments can help reduce overall K export and soil K depletion while providing a relatively low-cost carbon source on the soil surface. This review examines current knowledge of crop residues used as amendments to supply K while enhancing soil health and plant function, with a focus on nutshells applied in tree crop systems.
