Nitrogen (N) is a gas and the fifth most abundant element naturally found in the atmosphere.
N's role in agriculture and plant metabolism has been widely investigated for decades, and …

Presently, 50 percent of the human population relies on synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizer for
food production. In agriculture of subsistence during pre-chemical era, biological N2 fixation …

The field of plant nitrogen metabolism continues to be a compelling focus for basic research
activities because there is a strong demand for immediate solutions, particularly in key …

Adequate crop yields to feed 7.8 billion people today, and nearly 10 billion by mid-century
(Vollset et al. 2020), depend on large amounts of nitrogen (N) input, which in turn represent …

Agriculture faces two major challenges in terms of sustainability: firstly, supplying nutrition to
the world's population and secondly, advancing ecosystem services to preserve clean air …

Nitrogen fertilizers are the inescapable necessity to enhance agricultural production and to
sustain food security. However, their inefficient use accrues from inherent limitations of the …

The world has changed revolutionary for the last few decades owing to the surge in
population. A consequence of this exponential increase in population is the high demand for …

Reactive nitrogen (N) plays a pivotal role in supplying N to plants and soil microbes, but it
has negative environmental impacts through influencing the quality of water and air, which …

Nitrogen (N) plays a vital role in plant nutrition. It is required in larger amounts than other
essential nutrients as N is an integral part of a plethora of plant metabolites such as amino …

The global agri-food system relies on synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilisation to increase crop
yields, yet the use of synthetic N fertiliser is unsustainable. In this study we estimate global …
