Rice paddies supply half the global population with staple food, but also account for~ 48% of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands. In this Review, we outline the …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential element required for the growth and development of all plants.
On a global scale, N is agriculture's most widely used fertilizer nutrient. Studies have shown …

Fertilizers have become an essential part of our global food supply chain and are necessary
to sustain our growing population. However, fertilizers can also contribute to greenhouse …

The demand for agricultural goods is currently higher than it has ever been before due to the
expansion of the world population. This has resulted in the conversion of grassland into …

Rice paddies account for~ 9% or the world's cropland area and are characterized by
environmental conditions promoting soil organic carbon storage, methane emissions and to …

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) …

The nitrogen (N)-use efficiency of agricultural plants is notoriously poor. Globally, about 50%
of the N fertilizer applied to crop** systems is not absorbed by plants, but lost to the …

Stabilizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands as agricultural demand grows
is a critical component of climate change mitigation,,. Emissions intensity metrics—including …

Agriculture affects climate change and contributes directly and indirectly to greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. However, no reports have fully quantified the GHG emissions from …

Abstract We evaluated the “4 per 1000” initiative for increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) by
analysing rates of SOC increase in treatments in 16 long‐term experiments in southeast …
