  • Policies to combat nitrogen pollution in South Asia

    Open AccessAnastasia Yang, Nandula Raghuram et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Assessing and managing nitrogen sustainably is imperative for achieving the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targeted for 2030. South Asian countries, aware of the environmental and health impacts of nitrogen pollution, regionally as well as globally, piloted the 2019 UN resolution on sustainable nitrogen management, calling for urgent policy action. This paper assists South Asia policy development by providing new insights into nitroge…

  • Quantitative assessment of agricultural sustainability reveals divergent priorities among nations

    Open AccessXin Zhang, Guolin Yao et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2021

    Agriculture is fundamental to all three pillars of sustainability, environment, society, and economy. However, the definition of sustainable agriculture and capacities to measure it remain elusive. Independent and transparent measurements of national sustainability are needed to gauge progress, encourage accountability, and inform policy. Here, we developed a Sustainable Agriculture Matrix (SAM) to quantify national performance indicators in agri…

  • Why future nitrogen research needs the social sciences

    Open AccessDavid Kanter, Stephen J Del Grosso et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2020Cited by: 1References: 6

    Nitrogen management is on the cusp of becoming a major global policy issue — the international community is gradually acknowledging that the feasibility of an array of environmental, health and food security goals hinges on how humanity manages nitrogen as a resource and a pollutant over the coming decades. As a result, the nitrogen research agenda should expand to consider more policy-relevant questions, such as the power dynamics of the broader…

  • Building on Paris

    Open AccessDavid Kanter, Stephen M Ogle et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2020References: 3

    Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important contributor to climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion and yet it receives little attention in either the global climate or ozone agreements. More concerted efforts to address N2O could be key in meeting the 2°C target and a suite of Sustainable Development Goals. The past several years has seen major advances in N2O science and technology: our ability to estimate and simulate current and future N2O em…

  • A framework for nitrogen futures in the shared socioeconomic pathways

    Open AccessDavid Kanter, David R Kanter et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2020Cited by: 6

    Humanity's transformation of the nitrogen cycle has major consequences for ecosystems, climate and human health, making it one of the key environmental issues of our time. Understanding how trends could evolve over the course of the 21 st century is crucial for scientists and decision-makers from local to global scales. Scenario analysis is the primary tool for doing so, and has been applied across all major environmental issues, including nitrog…

  • The importance of climate change and nitrogen use efficiency for future nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture

    Open AccessDavid Kanter, David R Kanter et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Nitrous oxide (N _2 O) is an important greenhouse gas and ozone depleting substance. Previous projections of agricultural N _2 O (the dominant anthropogenic source) show emissions changing in tandem, or at a faster rate than changes in nitrogen (N) consumption. However, recent studies suggest that the carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) fertilization effect may increase plant N uptake, which could decrease soil N losses and dampen increases in N _2 O. To eva…

  • Inventories and scenarios of nitrous oxide emissions

    Open AccessEric A Davidson, David KanterARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    Effective mitigation for N2O emissions, now the third most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas and the largest remaining anthropogenic source of stratospheric ozone depleting substances, requires understanding of the sources and how they may increase this century. Here we update estimates and their uncertainties for current anthropogenic and natural N2O emissions and for emissions scenarios to 2050. Although major uncertainties remain, ‘bottom…
