Breeding Annual Grain Legumes for Sustainable Agriculture: New Methods to Approach Complex Traits and Target New Cultivar Ideotypes (2015, neutral): “5 million t per year in world agricultural systems (Herridge et al., 2008).”
Harnessing Soil Microbes to Improve Plant Phosphate Efficiency in Cropping Systems (2019, positive): “Biological nitrogen fixation can satisfy more than 70% of a host plants’ nitrogen demand [57] and contributes to one third of our global agricultural nitrogen needs [58].”
The Community Land Model Version 5: Description of New Features, Benchmarking, and Impact of Forcing Uncertainty (2019, background): “Globally upscaled estimate for agricultural N fixation, range 50–70 Tg N/year (Herridge et al., 2008).”
Advances in Host Plant and Rhizobium Genomics to Enhance Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Grain Legumes (2015, background): “Globally, legumes in symbiosis with soil rhizobia are reported to fix 20–22 million tons (or 20–22 Tg) of nitrogen each year in agricultural production systems (Herridge et al., 2008).”
The Global Distribution of Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Terrestrial Natural Ecosystems (2020, methodology): “Agricultural BNF has been calculated as 50–70 Tg N year−1 (Herridge et al., 2008) and analysis done by Vitousek et al. (2013) found DAVIES‐BARNARD AND FRIEDLINGSTEIN 13 of 17 that fertilizer from the Haber‐Bosch process accounts for 120 Tg N year−1.”
Exploring global changes in nitrogen and phosphorus cycles in agriculture induced by livestock production over the 1900–2050 period (2011, neutral): “However, the contribution of N2 fixation to crop N demand is uncertain (19, 20).”
