There is a clear and pressing need to better manage our planet's resources. Phosphorus is
a crucial element for life, but the natural phosphorus cycle has been perturbed to such an …

Mineral phosphorus (P) fertilizers support high crop yields and contribute to feeding the
teeming global population. However, complex edaphic processes cause P to be …

Soil phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural systems will limit food and feed production in the
future. Here, we combine spatially distributed global soil erosion estimates (only considering …

Increasing global population and decreasing arable land pose tremendous pressures to
agricultural production. The application of conventional chemical fertilizers improves …

Phosphate rocks are an irreplaceable resource to produce fertilizers, but their availability will
not be enough to meet the increasing demands of agriculture for food production. At the …

Despite phosphorus (P) being crucial for plant nutrition and thus food security, excessive P
fertilization harms soil and aquatic ecosystems. Accordingly, the European Green Deal and …

The number of publications on environmental footprint indicators has been growing rapidly,
but with limited efforts to integrate different footprints into a coherent framework. Such …

Abstract This global spatially explicit (0.5 by 0.5 degree) analysis presents the nitrogen (N)
and phosphorus (P) inputs, processing and biogeochemical retention and delivery to …

Although for the past 100 years, fertilizer technologies have increasingly used renewable
resources, the majority of manufactured products are still based on mineral deposits and …

It has been widely recognised that the threats to human health from global environmental
changes (GECs) are increasing in the Anthropocene epoch, and urgent actions are required …
