Freshwater mussels of the Order Unionida provide important ecosystem functions and
services, yet many of their populations are in decline. We comprehensively review the status …

Losses of nitrogen from the soil/plant system not only reduce soil fertility and plant yield but
can also create adverse impacts on the environment. Ammonia emissions into the …

Livestock production systems currently occupy around 28% of the land surface of the
European Union (equivalent to 65% of the agricultural land). In conjunction with other …

The demand for more food is increasing fertilizer and land use, and the demand for more
energy is increasing fossil fuel combustion, leading to enhanced losses of reactive nitrogen …

Precision farming (PF) technologies can help to mitigate the environmental impact of
agriculture by reducing fertiliser use and irrigation while saving cost for the farmer. However …

Throughout the world, nitrogen (N) losses from intensive agricultural production may end up
as undesirably high concentrations of nitrate in groundwater with a long-term impact on …

Abstract Temperate eels Anguilla anguilla (European eel), A. rostrata (American eel) and A.
japonica (Japanese eel) are three catadromous species which have been declining since …

During the last decades human activity has altered the natural cycle of nitrogen and
phosphorus on a global scale, producing significant emissions to waters. In E urope, the …

A series of environmental policies have been implemented in the European Union (EU) to
decrease nitrogen (N) emissions from agriculture. The Nitrates Directive (ND) is one of the …

Using the nitrogen (N) in organic manures more effectively reduces losses to the
environment. A requirement to take allowance of the N conserved by reduced ammonia (NH …
