Nitrate pollution of ground and surface water bodies all over the world is generally linked
with continually increasing global fertilizer nitrogen (N) use. But after 1990, with more …

Nitrogen (N) is central to living systems, and its addition to agricultural cropping systems is
an essential facet of modern crop management and one of the major reasons that crop …

Groundwater abstraction from the transboundary Indo-Gangetic Basin comprises 25% of
global groundwater withdrawals, sustaining agricultural productivity in Pakistan, India, Nepal …

Agriculture in developing countries is a vulnerable sector and is subsidized. Environmental
restrictions on agriculture sector are minimal. The excessive use of chemical fertilizers and …

This paper contrasts the natural and anthropogenic controls on the conversion of unreactive
N 2 to more reactive forms of nitrogen (Nr). A variety of data sets are used to construct global …

Groundwater overexploitation has caused massive groundwater depletion and raised
concerns for water and food security in India. Groundwater in India also suffers from multiple …

Summary The Green Revolution successfully increased food production but in doing so
created a legacy of inherently leaky and unsustainable agricultural systems. Central to this …

Changes to the global nitrogen cycle affect human health well beyond the associated
benefits of increased food production. Many intensively fertilized crops become animal feed …

Groundwater depletion has been widely studied in northwest India, but water quality
concerns are still poorly constrained. In this study, we explore the hydrochemistry of the top …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth. However, improper
management of N fertilization in agriculture has led to a large amount of nitrate leaching …
