Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Excessive N fertilizer application has caused soil acidification, N leaching to groundwater and N2O emissions.
- Association Crop yields declined where soil acidification is high.
- Observation Nearly half of N fertilizer input is not used by crops.
- Observation The N pollution level expected by 2050 is projected to be 150% higher than in 2010.
- Observation The agricultural sector is projected to account for 60% of the increase in N pollution.
- Recommendation Understanding the nitrogen cycle and nutrient use efficiency is important to reduce N problems globally.
