Article Synopsis
  • Ammonia loss is most significant during high-temperature aerobic composting (>50°C), causing nitrogen depletion and environmental pollution.
  • A bacterial strain named LL-8 was found to efficiently convert ammonia nitrogen, reducing volatile ammonia loss by 42.9% in chicken manure composting when applied at elevated temperatures.
  • Whole-genome analysis of LL-8 indicated its ability to assimilate ammonium nitrogen, making it a promising solution for improving nitrogen content in compost and mitigating ammonia-related air pollution.

Land use activities mainly for economic and agricultural purposes have converted one third to one half of our planet's land surface into urban expansion and agricultural practice, which has had significant impacts on natural ecosystems, food production, and environmental quality, attracting the attention of researchers and policymakers. Consequently, land use is emerging as a fundamental issue in global environmental change and sustainable development. This study represents an addition to the prevailing literature by investigating the asymmetric impacts of land-use and land-cover changes on environmental quality in Pakistan using time series data from 1961 to 2016.
