Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

Nitrogen is an essential component of all living organisms and the main nutrient limiting life on our planet. Its availability depends on diverse nitrogen-transforming reactions that are carried out ...

Nitrogen is an essential element required by all life — vital for plant and animal growth and nourishment. But, an overabundance of nitrogen can cause negative ecological effects. Over the past ...

The nitrogen cycle is a biogeochemical process encompassing the biologically mediated and abiotic transformations of nitrogen between atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic reservoirs, enabling its ...

"Proceedings of an international workshop arranged by the SCOPE/UNEP International Nitrogen Unit of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Commission for Research on Natural Resources of the ...

Human activities have dramatically altered the Earth’s nitrogen cycle since the Industrial Revolution, driving pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate feedbacks. A new scientific review highlights ...

Despite greatly increasing food production for humans, the growing use of nitrogen as a nutrient is affecting people's health far beyond just the benefits of growing more crops, according to a new ...

In a warming corner of Iceland, tiny soil microbes are quietly rewriting one of Earth’s most fundamental life-support systems. Instead of passing nitrogen along to plants, they are increasingly ...

Little is known about the exchange of gaseous nitrogen (N₂) with the atmosphere in freshwater systems. Although the exchange of N₂, driven by excess or deficiencies relative to saturation values, has ...
