Nitrogen (N) is an essential element required for the growth and development of all plants.
On a global scale, N is agriculture's most widely used fertilizer nutrient. Studies have shown …

Intensive agriculture causes land degradation and other environmental problems, such as
pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, biodiversity decline, and greenhouse gas (GHG) …

Excessive agricultural nitrogen use causes environmental problems globally, to an extent
that it has been suggested that a safe planetary boundary has been exceeded. Earlier …

Global agriculture puts heavy pressure on planetary boundaries, posing the challenge to
achieve future food security without compromising Earth system resilience. On the basis of …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most important long-lived GHG and an important
stratospheric ozone depleting substance. Agricultural practices and the use of N-fertilizers …

Abstract This global spatially explicit (0.5 by 0.5 degree) analysis presents the nitrogen (N)
and phosphorus (P) inputs, processing and biogeochemical retention and delivery to …

In addition to enhancing agricultural productivity, synthetic nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P)
fertilizer application in croplands dramatically alters global nutrient budget, water quality …

Agricultural systems science generates knowledge that allows researchers to consider
complex problems or take informed agricultural decisions. The rich history of this science …

The terrestrial biosphere can release or absorb the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide
(CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), and therefore has an important role in …

This chapter addresses the biogeochemical cycles of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere …
