Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a long-lived greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
Emissions of N2O mainly stem from agricultural soils. This review highlights the principal …

Tillage is a common agricultural practice and a critical component of agricultural systems
that is frequently employed worldwide in croplands to reduce climatic and soil restrictions …

No tillage (NT) is often presented as a means to grow crops with positive environmental
externalities, such as enhanced carbon sequestration, improved soil quality, reduced soil …

Process-based models are valuable tools for simulating crop production, estimating
agronomic efficiency and developing optimum management practices to achieve …

Mediterranean cropping systems, characterised by continuous cereal cropping, are largely
dependent on synthetic inputs, such as N fertilisers. On the other hand, they face difficult …

Adequate fertilization strategies are paramount to fulfill increasing demands for food, feed
and fiber while reducing environmental impacts. However, their optimization under …

Urea fertilization is a widely spread source of nitrogen (N) for agriculture because of its easy
accessibility. However, its use is highly inefficient, since a large amount of the applied N is …

Agricultural sustainability is compromised by nitrogen (N) losses caused by soil microbial
activity. Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) produced as consequence …

Applying the correct dose of nitrogen (N) fertilizer to crops is extremely important. The
current predictive models of yield and soil–crop dynamics during the crop growing season …

Faced with the great challenge of food demand and environmental pollution, optimizing
agricultural practices can potentially balance food security and environmental protection. In …
