摘要： Potassium (K) is the most commonly neglected macronutrient in global change, especially in acidified areas. Lime is a typical management to eliminate soil acidification in agroecosystem soils; however, its impact on soil K dynamics remains inconsistent under different acidic environments. Here, we combine a meta-analysis based on 407 observations from 89 papers and a long-term experiment to investigate the effect and main driving factors of liming on soil K change. The meta-analysis showed that lime application significantly reduced topsoil exchangeable K (EK) content by an average of 4.8% globally. The decrease in topsoil EK content due to liming depended on various soil properties, crop types, fertilizer regimes, and experiment types. Boosted regression tree analysis showed that initial soil exchangeable K (IEK) and pH were the main factors affecting soil EK change under the lime application. The field experiment results further evidence that the decrease of soil EK after the lime application was mainly due to increased K uptake by the crop, and EK transformed to non-exchangeable K (NEK). The application of lime has a greater impact on reducing subsoil EK content at a higher IEK thresholds. Soil EK showed a significant negative relationship with exchangeable calcium (Ca) and a significant positive relationship with exchangeable aluminum (Al). Redundancy analysis revealed that K input (KI), IEK, lime, Ca, Al, pH, and exchangeable magnesium significantly affected the K in soil and crops. The partial least squares path model showed that lime application and IEK levels combined indirectly influence soil K (EK and NEK) by directly affecting soil Ca and Al, K uptake, and K balances. The findings highlight the importance of the lime effect on K management in globally adverse environmental agroecosystems and indicate the key role of initial soil EK levels and acidification degree for regulating crops to excavate the subsoil potassium when subjected to liming.
