Nitrogen fertilization. A review of the risks associated with the inefficiency of its use and policy responses
Nitrogen (N) is a key input to food production. Nearly half of N fertilizer input is not used by
crops and is lost into the environment via emission of gases or by polluting water bodies. It is …

The role of nitrifier denitrification in the production of nitrous oxide revisited
Nitrifier denitrification is the reduction of nitrite (NO 2−) by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. This
process may account for up to 100% of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from ammonium (NH …
