Pesticides constitute an integral part of modern agriculture. However, there are still concerns
about their effects on non-target organisms. To address this the European Commission has …

Unprecedented nitrogen (N) inputs into terrestrial ecosystems have profoundly altered soil N
cycling. Ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers are the main producers of nitrous oxide (N2O) …

Plastic mulch is frequently used to increase crop yield, resulting in large quantities of
residues accumulating in soil due to low recovery rates. However, the effects of microplastic …

The impact of conventional and biodegradable microplastics on soil nutrients (carbon and
nitrogen) has been widely examined, and the alteration of nutrient conditions further …

The long‐term contribution of nitrification to nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from terrestrial
ecosystems is poorly known and thus poorly constrained in biogeochemical models. Here …

Large-scale information regarding nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions is needed as an
evidence base to underpin land use policy and mitigation approaches. However, the highly …

Permafrost-affected tundra soils are large carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) reservoirs. However,
N is largely bound in soil organic matter (SOM), and ecosystems generally have low N …

Since the start of the Anthropocene, northern seasonally frozen peatlands have been
warming at a rate of 0.6° C per decade, twice that of the Earth's average rate, thereby …

Soil is an extremely complex and dynamic matrix, in part, due to the wide diversity of
organisms living within it. Soil organic matter (SOM) is the fundamental substrate on which …

Manure is a key source of N for crops, especially in organic farming systems, but also a
driver of N2O emissions from soil. Treatment technologies removing manure organic matter …
