TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that there is a significant positive linear correlation between the annual food production and annual chemical fertilizer consumption throughout 1949-1998, and the regression coefficient, b, in each period of 10 years since 1949 has been declining rapidly.

TL;DR: The sources of plastic particles in agroecosystems, the mechanisms, constraints and dynamic behaviour of plastic during aging on land, and the responses of soil organisms and plants at different levels of biological organisation to plastic particles of micro and nano-scale are discussed.

TL;DR: It is argued that it is urgently necessary to incorporate microbial traits into biogeochemical ecosystem modeling in order to increase the estimation reliability of N2O emissions and proposed a molecular methodology oriented framework from gene to ecosystem scales for more robust prediction and mitigation of future N1O emissions.

TL;DR: It is found that farm size is a strong factor that affects the use intensity of agricultural chemicals across farms in China and this relationship has been distorted by land and migration policies, leading to the persistence of small farm size in China.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of 824 observations on impacts on NH3 volatilization of ⿿4R Nutrient Stewardship (right source, rate, place and time), farming practices (irrigation, residue retention, amendments), and enhanced efficiency fertilizers (fertilizers with urease inhibitors, nitrification inhibitors or controlled release coatings) was conducted.
