The hydrosphere is the largest reservoir for potassium, holding an estimated 552.7 x 10 12 tonnes (552.7x10 6 Tg). [2] Leaching and erosion carry 1.4 x 10 9 tonnes (1400 Tg) yr −1 of potassium in soil solution into groundwater, rivers, and oceans. [2] Some potassium in the atmosphere also enters the hydrosphere through precipitation.
The potassium ion (K +) is highly mobile and can aid in balancing the anion (negative) charges within the plant. A relationship between potassium nutrition and cold resistance has been found in several tree species, including two species of spruce. [12] Potassium helps in fruit coloration, shape and also increases its brix. Hence, quality ...
Biological substances can experience leaching themselves, [2] as well as be used for leaching as part of the solvent substance to recover heavy metals. [6] Many plants experience leaching of phenolics, carbohydrates, and amino acids, and can experience as much as 30% mass loss from leaching, [5] just from sources of water such as rain, dew, mist, and fog.

A basic guide for the effect of environment on decomposition is given as Casper's Law (or Ratio): if all other factors are equal, then, when there is free access of air a body decomposes twice as fast as if immersed in water and eight times faster than if buried in the earth. Ultimately, the rate of bacterial decomposition acting on the tissue ...
