A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks.

Global human-induced emissions of nitrous oxide, which are dominated by nitrogen additions to croplands, increased by 30% over the past four decades to 7.3 (4.2-11.4) teragrams of nitrogen per year…

Societal benefits of halving agricultural ammonia emissions in China far exceed the abatement costs

Mitigating agricultural ammonia (NH3) emissions in China is urgently needed to avoid further damage to human and ecosystem health. Effective and feasible mitigation strategies hinge on integrated…

Spatially Explicit Inventory of Sources of Nitrogen Inputs to the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea for the Period 1970–2010

Nitrogen inputs in China’s coastal waters are strongly concentrated in areas close to river mouths and regions with marine aquaculture production

Modeling Process-Based Biogeochemical Dynamics in Surface Fresh Waters of Large Watersheds With the IMAGE-DGNM Framework

Humans have strongly modified the functioning of the Earth's surface fresh waters, through pollution emissions and infrastructure, which has led to widespread ecological deterioration. Human…

Lignite effects on NH3, N2O, CO2 and CH4 emissions during composting of manure

Lignite effects on gaseous emissions during composting of manure were examined. Lignite amended manure decreased NH3 emission by 54% during composting process. CO2−emission from lignite treated manure…

The wicked problem the Water Framework Directive cannot solve

Nutrients (nitrates, phosphates) from agricultural sources remain a ‘wicked problem’ in realizing the aims of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), partly because the directive has to rely on…

A framework for nitrogen futures in the shared socioeconomic pathways

Humanity's transformation of the nitrogen cycle has major consequences for ecosystems, climate and human health, making it one of the key environmental issues. Understanding how trends could evolve…

Aquaculture Production is a Large, Spatially Concentrated Source of Nutrients in Chinese Freshwater and Coastal Seas

Chinese aquaculture production accounts for over half of the global aquaculture production and has increased by 50% since 2006. There is growing concern about eutrophication caused by aquaculture in…

Decreasing ammonia loss from an Australian pasture with the use of enhanced efficiency fertilizers

Mitigating ammonia (NH3) volatilization from intensive pasture systems is critical for environmental sustainability. However, field-scale evaluation on the potential of enhanced efficiency fertilizers…

Evaluating EDGARv4.tox2 speciated mercury emissions ex-post scenarios and their impacts on modelled global and regional wet deposition patterns

Speciated mercury gridded emissions inventories together with chemical transport models and concentration measurements are essential when investigating both the effectiveness of mitigation measures…
