  • Quantification and comparison of subnational and national agricultural nitrogen flows in Denmark and Sweden

    Open AccessDiego Grados, Rasmus Einarsson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Ensuring food production with low nitrogen (N) environmental emissions requires good quantitative knowledge of N flows in agricultural systems to monitor emissions and N use efficiency (NUE, the ratio of N outputs to inputs). Our study quantifies the main N agricultural flows at subnational and national scales in Denmark and Sweden from 2011 to 2020, calculating the NUE for crop and livestock production and associated nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and am…

  • From field measurements to national inventories and smart incentives—the SmartField approach for agricultural soil N 2 O fluxes

    Open AccessKlaus Butterbach‐Bahl, Ann Britt Værge et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural production is crucial to limiting climate change. Fertilized soils are a major source of nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a potent GHG. Reducing N 2 O emissions is a key interest for many countries, including Denmark, where approximately 90% of N 2 O emissions originate from agricultural soils. Although the link between nitrogen (N) fertilization and N 2 O emissions is well-known, quan…

  • Synthesizing the evidence of nitrous oxide mitigation practices in agroecosystems

    Open AccessDiego Grados, Klaus Butterbach‐Bahl et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from agricultural soils are the main source of atmospheric N 2 O, a potent greenhouse gas and key ozone-depleting substance. Several agricultural practices with potential to mitigate N 2 O emissions have been tested worldwide. However, to guide policymaking for reducing N 2 O emissions from agricultural soils, it is necessary to better understand the overall performance and variability of mitigation practices and i…

  • Biochar boosts tropical but not temperate crop yields

    Open AccessSimon Jeffery, Diego Ábalos et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Applying biochar to soil is thought to have multiple benefits, from helping mitigate climate change [1, 2], to managing waste [3] to conserving soil [4]. Biochar is also widely assumed to boost crop yield [5, 6], but there is controversy regarding the extent and cause of any yield benefit [7]. Here we use a global-scale meta-analysis to show that biochar has, on average, no effect on crop yield in temperate latitudes, yet elicits a 25% average in…

  • Yield-scaled mitigation of ammonia emission from N fertilization

    Open AccessAlberto Sanz-Cobeña, Luis Lassaletta et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    Synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizer and field application of livestock manure are the major sources of ammonia (NH3) volatilization. This N loss may decrease crop productivity and subsequent deposition promotes environmental problems associated with soil acidification and eutrophication. Mitigation measures may have associated side effects such as decreased crop productivity (e.g. if N fertilizer application is reduced), or the release of other rea…
