We mapped key soil micronutrients across the Tibetan Plateau to fill a major gap in understanding their distribution in cold, dry highlands. Using data from more than five hundred sites, we measured Fe, Mn, Zn, and V in surface soils and found strong regional differences mainly shaped by rock weathering, with added effects of climate and landscape. Our high-resolution maps and uncertainty estimates support sustainable land management and improved predictions under climate change.
