The coming 10–20 years will be most critical for making the transition to a global food
system in which mineral nutrients in agriculture must be managed in a more holistic manner …

The use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture produces significant quantities of nitrogenous
gases including ammonia, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide. Through better farmland …

Input–output estimates of nitrogen on cropland are essential for improving nitrogen
management and better understanding the global nitrogen cycle. Here, we compare 13 …

Future rice systems must produce more grain while minimizing the negative environmental
impacts. A key question is how to orient agricultural research & development (R&D) …

A problematic issue in agriculture is the high quantity of ammonia being released resulting
in a partial loss of the nitrogen which is contained in urea fertilizers. Alignment with …

Insight into the response of cereal yields to nitrogen fertilizer is fundamental to improving
nutrient management and policies to sustain economic crop benefits and food sufficiency …

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 …

Croplands are the foundation of global food security and represent the largest nitrogen flows
on Earth. Elevated atmospheric CO2 levels are a key driver of climate change with multiple …

Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, provide vital support for human life, but
overloading nutrients to the Earth system leads to environmental concerns, such as water …

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications are important for agricultural yield, yet not all the applied
N is taken up by crops, leading to surplus N storage in soil or leaching to groundwater and …
