Global nitrogen cycle: critical enzymes, organisms, and processes for nitrogen budgets and dynamics

X Zhang, BB Ward, DM Sigman - Chemical reviews, 2020 - ACS Publications
Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

Coupled biogeochemical cycles: eutrophication and hypoxia in temperate estuaries and coastal marine ecosystems

R Howarth, F Chan, DJ Conley… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Nutrient fluxes to coastal areas have risen in recent decades, leading to widespread hypoxia
and other ecological damage, particularly from nitrogen (N). Several factors make N more …

Soil ecological stoichiometry synchronously regulates stream nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and ratios

J Liu, Y Wang, Y Li, J Peñuelas, Y Zhao, J Sardans… - Catena, 2023 - Elsevier
Whether and how to synchronously regulate stream water nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)
concentrations and ratios is a major challenge for sustainable aquatic functions. Soil carbon …

Human domination of Earth's ecosystems

PM Vitousek, HA Mooney, J Lubchenco, JM Melillo - Science, 1997 - science.org

Nonpoint pollution of surface waters with phosphorus and nitrogen

SR Carpenter, NF Caraco, DL Correll… - Ecological …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Agriculture and urban activities are major sources of phosphorus and nitrogen to aquatic
ecosystems. Atmospheric deposition further contributes as a source of N. These nonpoint …

Human alteration of the global nitrogen cycle: sources and consequences

PM Vitousek, JD Aber, RW Howarth… - Ecological …, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
