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

McAllister,Genxing Pan,V. Romanenkov,Uwe A. Schneider,Sirintornthep Towprayoon,Martin Wattenbach,Jo Smith +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the economic potential of agricultural practices, such as water and rice management, set-aside, land use change and agroforestry, livestock management and manure management, is estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Policy and technological constraints to implementation of greenhouse gas mitigation options in agriculture
Pete Smith,Daniel Martino,Zucong Cai,Daniel Gwary,H. Henry Janzen,Pushpam Kumar,Bruce A. McCarl,Stephen M. Ogle,Frank P. O'Mara,Charles W. Rice,Bob Scholes,O D Sirotenko,Mark Howden,Tim A. McAllister,Genxing Pan,V. Romanenkov,Uwe A. Schneider,Sirintornthep Towprayoon +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the constraints and barriers to implementation important for GHG mitigation in agriculture and also examine how climate and non-climate policy in different regions of the world has affected agricultural GHG emissions and how it may affect emissions and mitigation implementation in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane and nitrous oxide emissions from rice paddy fields as affected by nitrogen fertilisers and water management
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the integrative effects of water management and fertiliser application for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions in order to attenuate the greenhouse effect contributed by rice paddy fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autotrophic growth of nitrifying community in an agricultural soil.
Weiwei Xia,Caixia Zhang,Xiaowei Zeng,Youzhi Feng,Jiahua Weng,Xiangui Lin,Jianguo Zhu,Zhengqin Xiong,Jian Xu,Zucong Cai,Zhongjun Jia +10 more
TL;DR: Results show that the microbial community of AOB and NOB dominates the nitrification process in the agricultural soil tested, which provides strong hints for the chemolithoautotrophy of nitrifying community in complex soil environments.
