Agroecosystems, Nitrogen-use Efficiency, and Nitrogen Management
TL;DR: The global challenge of meeting increased food demand and protecting environmental quality will be won or lost in cropping systems that produce maize, rice, and wheat as discussed by the authors, and the research agenda and developing effective policies to meet this challenge requires quantitative understanding of current levels of N-use efficiency and losses in these systems, the biophysical controls on these factors, and the economic returns from adoption of improved management practices.
Agroecosystems, Nitrogen-use Effic iency, and Nitrogen Management
TL;DR: The magnitude of the scientific challenge should not be underestimated because it becomes increasingly difficult to control the fate of N in cropping systems that must sustain yield increases on the world's limited supply of productive farm land.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meeting Cereal Demand While Protecting Natural Resources and Improving Environmental Quality
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the potential for conserving natural resources while meeting increased demand for cereals, and conclude that avoiding expansion of cultivation into natural ecosystems, increased nitrogen use efficiency, and improved soil quality are pivotal components of a sustainable agriculture that meets human needs and protects natural resources.

Nitrogen uptake, fixation and response to fertilizer N in soybeans: A review
Fernando Salvagiotti,Kenneth G. Cassman,James E. Specht,Daniel T. Walters,Albert Weiss,Achim Dobermann +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive summary and interpretation of these interactions with specific emphasis on high yield environments is lacking. But the results from many N fertilization studies are often confounded by insufficiently optimized BNF or other management factors that may have precluded achieving BNF-mediated yields near the yield potential ceiling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rice yields in tropical/subtropical Asia exhibit large but opposing sensitivities to minimum and maximum temperatures
Jarrod R. Welch,Jeffrey R. Vincent,Maximilian Auffhammer,Piedad F. Moya,Achim Dobermann,David Dawe +5 more
TL;DR: Data from farmer-managed fields are used to disentangle the impacts of daily minimum and maximum temperatures and solar radiation on rice yields in tropical/subtropical Asia and imply a net negative impact on yield from moderate warming in coming decades.
