It should also decrease N 2 O gas emissions and nitrate leaching from agricultural land, creating a healthier global nitrogen cycle.

These isotopomers of N 2 O can be used to probe sources and sinks in the global nitrogen cycle by identifying nitrification and denitrification processes in soils and water which are key in soil ...

Since the mid-1900s, humans have been exerting an ever-increasing impact on the global nitrogen cycle. Human activities, such as making fertilizers and burning fossil fuels, have significantly ...
