With the longevity of phosphorus reserves uncertain, distributing phosphorus to meet food
production needs is a global challenge. Here we match plant-available soil Olsen …

Highlights•Enrichment of surface waters with phosphorus (P) leads to algal growth and
eutrophication.•About 27% of agricultural land exceeds optimal soil P levels, posing a risk of …

Intensive land use, such as dairying, can impair water quality. Although many guidelines
exist on how to mitigate the loss of dairy-associated contaminants from land to water through …

Globally, the soils underlying managed grasslands are an important reservoir of carbon (C),
with the management of the land strongly influencing whether the soils gain, lose or …

Abstract CONTEXT The Latin America-Caribbean (LAC) region has the potential to pursue a
sustainable expansion of livestock production and capitalise on the growing global demand …

Reducing animal‐based food production would not only reduce agricultural greenhouse gas
emissions but also free land that could sequester carbon. We examine the efficiency of a …

Good management practices (GMPs) on dairy farms have been shown to reduce
contaminant losses and improve water quality. Few national long-term datasets exist …

Abstract Dairy systems in South America's humid subtropics include grass-legume pastures
in rotation with winter-summer double-cropping for silage, thus combining direct grazing with …

Context Dairy pasture production is reliant on fertiliser to supply nitrogen (N); however,
fertiliser N-use efficiency (FNUE) is low and N can be lost to the environment. Aims The aim …
