Policy and technological constraints to implementation of greenhouse gas mitigation options in agriculture (2007, background): “A gro-ecosystems have become increasingly dependent on input of reactive nitrogen, much of it added as fertilizers (Galloway et al., 2003, 2004).”
N processing within geomorphic structures in urban streams (2005, background): “Catchment-scale strategies to control N pollution focus on reducing sources (e.g., fertilizer, sewage) and/or increasing sinks of inorganic N (Mitsch et al. 2001, Driscoll et al. 2003, Galloway et al. 2003).”
Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “This century, 40% of all N fertilizers produced industrially are used in the tropics and subtropics, and this figure is projected to grow to 60% by 2020, which would lead to a doubling ofNdeposition rates in the tropics in2050compared to levels in the1990s [Galloway et al., 2003].”
Nitrogen fertilizer management for nitrous oxide (N2O) mitigation in intensive corn (Maize) production: an emissions reduction protocol for US Midwest agriculture (2010, background): “The greatest alteration of the global nitrogen (N) cycle brought about by human activities is the change associated with the huge increase in biologically available or reactive N (Galloway et al. 2003).”
Methods for measuring denitrification: diverse approaches to a difficult problem. (2006, background): “On the other hand, would we recommend that a new graduate student, interested in understanding the importance of denitrification to the global ‘‘nitrogen cascade’’ (Galloway et al. 2003) or atmospheric chemistry use C2H2 methods for their study?”
Effects of experimental nitrogen additions on plant diversity in an old‐growth tropical forest (2010, background): “Second, N deposition in tropical regions is projected to increase greatly in the coming decades due to the rapid expansion of industrial and agricultural activities (Lamarque et al., 2005; Galloway et al., 2008).”
Mycorrhizal effects on nutrient cycling, nutrient leaching and N2O production in experimental grassland (2015, neutral): “Nutrient losses are among the top environmental threats to eco-systems worldwide, as they can result in the pollution of water-ways, harm the integrity of downstream ecosystems and add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere (Galloway et al., 2003).”
The role of wood decay fungi in the carbon and nitrogen dynamics of the forest floor (2006, background): “Some forests are now receiving damaging nitrogen inputs in the form of atmospheric deposition of pollutant reactive nitrogen (Fenn et al., 1997; Galloway et al., 2003).”
Greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture (2008, background): “(ii) Nutrient management Nitrogen applied in fertilizers and manures is not always used efficiently by crops (Cassman et al. 2003; Galloway et al. 2003).”
