“…To measure the root elements, the dissolved samples are determined using inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). This technique has multielement and high‐throughput options (Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Zn are in a good range; Cd, Co, Mo are usually below the detection limits) (A. K. Richter et al ., 2011 ). As the measurement of P requires ample amount of dried root material, this may not be realistically measured on separate root orders.…”
