Article Synopsis
- Knowledge-based nitrogen (N) management helps align crop nitrogen demand with supply, improving crop yield while minimizing nitrogen losses.
- Analysis of 5,448 observations from various studies revealed that organic and balanced fertilization increases soil nitrate retention but also leads to more nitrogen leaching and emissions compared to no fertilizer.
- The use of nitrification inhibitors effectively retains soil ammonium and enhances plant nitrogen uptake, suggesting that combining these management practices is essential for improving nitrogen retention and reducing losses on a global scale.
The internal soil nitrogen (N) cycle supplies N to plants and microorganisms but may induce N pollution in the environment. Understanding the variability of gross N cycling rates resulting from the global spatial heterogeneity of climatic and edaphic variables is essential for estimating the potential risk of N loss. Here we compiled 4,032 observations from 398 published N pool dilution and tracing studies to analyse the interactions between soil internal potential N cycling and environmental effects.
