Global demand for livestock products is expected to double by 2050, mainly due to
improvement in the worldwide standard of living. Meanwhile, climate change is a threat to …

Nitrogen (N) is a key input to food production. Nearly half of N fertilizer input is not used by
crops and is lost into the environment via emission of gases or by polluting water bodies. It is …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) that also depletes stratospheric
ozone. Nitrogen (N) fertilizer rate is the best single predictor of N2O emissions from …

Although it is well established that soils are the dominating source for atmospheric nitrous
oxide (N2O), we are still struggling to fully understand the complexity of the underlying …

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 …

Crop residues are important inputs of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) to soils and thus directly
and indirectly affect nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. As the current inventory methodology …

The use of nitrification inhibitors (NI) is a technique which is able to improve N fertilizer use
efficiency, to reduce nitrate leaching and to decrease the emission of the climate‐relevant …

Humans are currently confronted by many global challenges. These include achieving food
security for a rapidly expanding population, lowering the risk of climate change by reducing …

Annual production of crop residues has reached nearly 4 billion metric tons globally.
Retention of this large amount of residues on agricultural land can be beneficial to soil C …

As efforts to mitigate climate change increase, there is a need to identify cost-effective ways
to avoid emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Agriculture is rightly recognized as a …
