Soil Nitrogen Uses and Environmental Impacts

Edited by Rattan Lal, B.A. Stewart ...

Series series Advances in Soil Science
Nitrogen (N) is potentially one of the most complex elements on the Earth. It is necessary for all biological activity, but creates negative impacts on water and air quality. There is a balancing act between deficiency and surplus and the forms of N available further complicate our understanding of the dynamics. Biological fixation provides some plants with N supply while others are totally ... Read more
