Inland Waters Increasingly Produce and Emit Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a long-lived greenhouse gas and currently contributes ∼10% to global greenhouse warming. Studies have suggested that inland waters are a large and growing global N 2 O source…
Abating ammonia is more cost-effective than nitrogen oxides for global mitigation of particulate matter air pollution
Worldwide, more than 4 million people die prematurely every year due to ambient air pollution. This is more than from malnutrition or overweight. Particulate matter (PM2.5, particles smaller than 2.5…
Lignite effects on NH3, N2O, CO2 and CH4 emissions during composting of manure
Lignite effects on gaseous emissions during composting of manure were examined. Lignite amended manure decreased NH3 emission by 54% during composting process. CO2−emission from lignite treated manure…
A framework for nitrogen futures in the shared socioeconomic pathways
Humanity's transformation of the nitrogen cycle has major consequences for ecosystems, climate and human health, making it one of the key environmental issues. Understanding how trends could evolve…
Decreasing ammonia loss from an Australian pasture with the use of enhanced efficiency fertilizers
Mitigating ammonia (NH3) volatilization from intensive pasture systems is critical for environmental sustainability. However, field-scale evaluation on the potential of enhanced efficiency fertilizers…
Evaluating EDGARv4.tox2 speciated mercury emissions ex-post scenarios and their impacts on modelled global and regional wet deposition patterns
Speciated mercury gridded emissions inventories together with chemical transport models and concentration measurements are essential when investigating both the effectiveness of mitigation measures…
Human alteration of the global nitrogen and phosphorus soil balances for the period 1970–2050
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) scenarios allow for describing contrasting future developments in agricultural nutrient use under changing climate for the next five decades. Massive…
