Application of enhanced-efficiency nitrogen fertilizers reduces mineral nitrogen usage and emissions of both N2O and NH3 while sustaining yields in a wheat-rice rotation system

Yi Cheng et al.

Summary: The application of nitrification and urease inhibitors with urea can reduce nitrogen losses, especially in rice. Urea rate reduction can decrease N2O and NH3 emissions, but may lower yield and N use efficiency. Co-application of urea with inhibitors can maintain good yield and N use efficiency, while also reducing N2O and NH3 emissions.

Deceleration of Cropland-N2O Emissions in China and Future Mitigation Potentials

Xiaoqing Cui et al.

Summary: The N2O emissions from croplands in China doubled between 1980 and 2017, but the growth rate has slowed since 1998, mainly due to a country-wide decrease in nitrogen fertilizer applications and changes in sowing structure. Policy interventions and agronomy practices have the potential to further reduce N2O emissions in China and other developing countries.

Using nitrification inhibitors and deep placement to tackle the trade-offs between NH3 and N2O emissions in global croplands

Chong Zhang et al.

Summary: Ammonia and nitrous oxide are important air pollutants that have significant impacts on climate change and biodiversity. This study found that deep placement of urea with nitrification inhibitors can effectively reduce emissions of both ammonia and nitrous oxide. However, there may be trade-offs between these gases when using different fertilization methods.

An Integrated Nitrogen Management Strategy Promotes Open-Field Pepper Yield, Crop Nitrogen Uptake, and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Southwest China

Xiao Ma et al.

Summary: Excessive nitrogen fertilizer application can negatively affect vegetable productivity and N use efficiency. The optimization of N fertilizer rate and application of enhanced efficiency N fertilizers are feasible strategies to improve N management. This study demonstrated that optimizing the N application rate based on root zone N management can reduce N input and improve N recovery efficiency without compromising vegetable yield. Additionally, combined application of enhanced efficiency N fertilizers further increased vegetable yield and N recovery efficiency.

Global evaluation of inhibitor impacts on ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils: A meta-analysis

Daijia Fan et al.

Summary: Inhibitors are considered efficient in reducing nitrogen loss and improving nitrogen use efficiency, but their effectiveness varies across different agroecosystems. Urease inhibitors enhance crop yields and reduce ammonia emissions, while nitrification inhibitors are effective at reducing nitrous oxide emissions. The application of inhibitors is dependent on factors such as soil properties, climatic conditions, and management practices. Understanding the interactions between plant-soil-climate-management systems and different types of inhibitors is crucial for optimizing their effectiveness in reducing environmental losses and increasing productivity.

Reactive N emissions from cropland and their mitigation in the North China Plain

Jingxia Wang et al.

Summary: Excessive application of chemical nitrogen fertilizer and inefficient N management in the North China Plain cause large reactive N (Nr) losses and pollution. This study tested three improved N management practices and found that appropriate N management can reduce Nr emissions, promote N use efficiency, and have economic benefits, especially through partial substitution of chemical N by organic N and using a urease inhibitor.

Optimizing nitrogen management to mitigate gaseous losses and improve net benefits of an open-field Chinese cabbage system

Daijia Fan et al.

Summary: The excessive and inappropriate application of nitrogen fertilizer in open vegetable fields is a major anthropogenic source of gaseous nitrogen losses in China. This study found that optimized nitrogen management, using reduced application rates, controlled-release urea, and nitrification inhibitors, can effectively reduce nitrous oxide and ammonia emissions. The experiment on Chinese cabbage fields showed that the treatment with controlled-release urea and nitrification inhibitor had the greatest reduction in nitrous oxide emissions and the most economic benefits.

Direct N2O emissions from global tea plantations and mitigation potential by climate-smart practices

Jinyang Wang et al.

Summary: Based on research findings, the sensitivity of N2O emissions in tea plantations is influenced by soil acidity and climate factors. Tea plantations significantly contribute to N2O emissions in the agricultural sector globally, and the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions per unit yield is higher compared to other upland cereals. Implementing climate-smart practices in Chinese tea plantations can reduce emissions equivalent to one-third of the global total, highlighting the importance of targeted measures for achieving global temperature control targets.
