Impact of lifestyle, human diet and nutrient use efficiency in food production on eutrophication of global aquifers and surface waters

A spatially explicit analysis is presented of the impact of human lifestyle, diet and nutrient use efficiency in food production and wastewater treatment on exceedance of threshold concentrations for…

Impact of groundwater nitrogen legacy on water quality

The loss of agricultural nitrogen (N) is a leading cause of global eutrophication and freshwater and coastal hypoxia. Despite regulatory efforts, such as the European Union’s Nitrogen Directive, high…

Trends and geographic variation in adverse impacts of nitrogen use in Europe on human health, climate, and ecosystems: A review

This study assesses the effects of reactive nitrogen (N) pollution on human health, climate, and ecosystems in Europe from 1990 to 2019. It reports temporal and spatial variation in nitrogen-related…

Global regionalized characterization factors for phosphorus and nitrogen impacts on freshwater fish biodiversity

Inefficient global nutrient (i.e., phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N)) management leads to an increase in nutrient delivery to freshwater and coastal ecosystems and induces eutrophication in these…

Costs and benefits of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser for global production of cereal grains in 2015 and in 2050 under contrasting scenarios

Increased use of synthetic N fertiliser has boosted global cereal grain production, but has also led to a massive increase of reactive N loss and environment impacts. This paper quantifies the global…

Surface-Water Nitrate Exposure to World Populations Has Expanded and Intensified during 1970−2010

Excessive nitrate in surface waters deteriorates the water quality and threatens human health. Human activities have caused increased nitrate concentrations in global surface waters over the past 50…

Spatial and temporal patterns of nutrients and their environmental impacts from the agriculture sector in India

Since the launch of the Green Revolution (GR) in Indian agriculture in the 1960s, Indian food production has successfully become self-sufficient. This has also led to increasing soil nitrogen (N)…

Water quality footprint of agricultural emissions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and glyphosate associated with German bioeconomy

Fertiliser and pesticide application can cause extensive environmental damage. This study uses the water quality footprint to express nitrogen, phosphorus, and glyphosate emissions from agriculture in…

Exploring wastewater nitrogen and phosphorus flows in urban and rural areas in China for the period 1970 to 2015

China has experienced rapid population growth and increasing human N and P discharge from point sources. This paper presents a new spatial and temporal model-based, province-scale inventory of N and P…

Inland Waters Increasingly Produce and Emit Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a long-lived greenhouse gas and currently contributes ∼10% to global greenhouse warming. Studies have suggested that inland waters are a large and growing global N 2 O source…
