On a cool spring morning in a northern forest, the ground feels soft underfoot. Mist hangs between the trunks, and the air smells of wet leaves and old humus; the slow alchemy that keeps a forest ...

A study led by the UAB and the CREAF shows that the loss of nitrogen from Arctic soil not only deprives plants of a vital nutrient but also contributes, proportionally and irreversibly, to increased ...

A new study reveals that soil acidity plays a critical role in determining how wheat competes with soil microorganisms for nitrogen, a nutrient essential for plant growth and global food production.

Preserving the diversity of forests assures their productivity and potentially increases the accumulation of carbon and nitrogen in the soil, which helps to sustain soil fertility and mitigate global ...

Farmers around the world rely on nitrogen fertilizers to sustain crop production, but in many alkaline soils a large share of that nitrogen is rapidly lost before plants can use it. A new study ...

A new collaborative study from The University of Western Australia has found that partially replacing synthetic nitrogen fertilizer with low amounts of organic components can improve soil quality, ...

Why can two fields managed in exactly the same way differ so dramatically in nutrient efficiency, crop resilience or fertiliser response?  That’s what ...

On the surface, using nitrogen-based fertilizers within crop fields seems like an all-around good practice for producers who are noticing nutrient deficiencies in their soils. Yet, after years of ...

Nitrogen management is never a one-size-fits-all program. Every field is different, and the right fertilization plan depends on your soil, the crops you grow, and the fertilizer you use. One of the ...
