Characteristics of nitrogen dynamics and impact of nitrate enrichment in the agri-food system of the Taihu Basin
Can N Fertilizer Addition Affect N2O Isotopocule Signatures for Soil N2O Source Partitioning
Isotopocule signatures of N 2 O (δ 15 N bulk , δ 18 O and site preference) are useful for discerning soil N 2 O source, but sometimes, N fertilizer is needed to ensure that there is enough N 2 O flux for accurate isotopocule measurements. However, whether fertilizer affects these measurements is unknown. This study evaluated a gradient of NH 4 NO 3 addition on N 2 O productions and isotopocule values in two acidic subtropical soils. The results s…
Fertilizer nitrogen recovery efficiencies in crop production systems of China with and without consideration of the residual effect of nitrogen
China is the world’s largest consumer of synthetic nitrogen (N), where very low rates of fertilizer N recovery in crops have been reported, raising discussion around whether fertilizer N use can be significantly reduced without yield penalties. However, using recovery rates as indicator ignores a possible residual effect of fertilizer N—a factor often unknown at large scales. Such residual effect might store N in the soil increasing N availabilit…
Transformation of the Nitrogen Cycle: Recent Trends, Questions, and Potential Solutions
Humans continue to transform the global nitrogen cycle at a record pace, reflecting an increased combustion of fossil fuels, growing demand for nitrogen in agriculture and industry, and pervasive inefficiencies in its use. Much anthropogenic nitrogen is lost to air, water, and land to cause a cascade of environmental and human health problems. Simultaneously, food production in some parts of the world is nitrogen-deficient, highlighting inequitie…
Greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture
Agricultural lands occupy 37% of the earth's land surface. Agriculture accounts for 52 and 84% of global anthropogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Agricultural soils may also act as a sink or source for CO 2 , but the net flux is small. Many agricultural practices can potentially mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the most prominent of which are improved cropland and grazing land management and restoration of degraded lands and cul…
