Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of the Nitrogen Cycle: Recent Trends, Questions, and Potential Solutions
James N. Galloway,Alan R. Townsend,Jan Willem Erisman,Mateete A. Bekunda,Zucong Cai,J. R. Freney,Luiz Antonio Martinelli,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Mark A. Sutton +8 more
TL;DR: Optimizing the need for a key human resource while minimizing its negative consequences requires an integrated interdisciplinary approach and the development of strategies to decrease nitrogen-containing waste.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen cycles: past, present, and future
James N. Galloway,Frank Dentener,Douglas G. Capone,Elizabeth W. Boyer,Robert W. Howarth,Sybil P. Seitzinger,G. P. Asner,Cory C. Cleveland,P. A. Green,Elisabeth A. Holland,David M. Karl,Anthony F. Michaels,John H. Porter,Alan R. Townsend,Charles J. Vörösmarty +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the natural and anthropogenic controls on the conversion of unreactive N2 to more reactive forms of nitrogen (Nr) and found that human activities increasingly dominate the N budget at the global and at most regional scales, and the terrestrial and open ocean N budgets are essentially dis-connected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling Eutrophication: Nitrogen and Phosphorus
Daniel J. Conley,Hans W. Paerl,Robert W. Howarth,Donald F. Boesch,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Karl E. Havens,Christiane Lancelot,Gene E. Likens +7 more
TL;DR: Improvements in the water quality of many freshwater and most coastal marine ecosystems requires reductions in both nitrogen and phosphorus inputs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Nitrogen Cascade
James N. Galloway,John D. Aber,Jan Willem Erisman,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Robert W. Howarth,Ellis B. Cowling,B. Jack Cosby +6 more
TL;DR: The only way to eliminate Nr accumulation and stop the cascade is to convert Nr back to nonreactive N2, which leads to lag times in the continuation of the cascade.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Carbon Cycle: A Test of Our Knowledge of Earth as a System
Paul G. Falkowski,Robert J. Scholes,Edward A. Boyle,Josep G. Canadell,Donald E. Canfield,James J. Elser,Nicolas Gruber,K. Hibbard,Peter Högberg,Sune Linder,Fred T. Mackenzie,Berrien Moore,Thomas F. Pedersen,Yair Rosenthal,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Victor Smetacek,Will Steffen +16 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that although natural processes can potentially slow the rate of increase in atmospheric CO2, there is no natural "savior" waiting to assimilate all the anthropogenically produced CO2 in the coming century.
