Article Synopsis
- Human activities are speeding up the production of reactive nitrogen, leading to negative environmental effects like air pollution, reduced visibility, and biodiversity loss.
- Over the last 50 years, ammonia emissions from agriculture have surged due to intensive farming and livestock production in developed countries.
- The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive database of agricultural emission factors to support regulations aimed at reducing air pollution while discussing best practices to optimize nitrogen use and lessen environmental harm.
The N simulation model, DRAINMOD-N II, was field-tested using a 6-yr data set from an artificially drained agricultural site located in eastern North Carolina. The test site is on a nearly flat sandy loam soil which is very poorly drained under natural conditions. Four experimental plots, planted to a corn (Zea mays)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.
