Nitrogen, Volume 5, Issue 1

Nitrogen (N) is abundant in the atmosphere as N2, which is converted into reactive forms (Nr) for plant assimilation. In pre-industrial times, atmospheric N2 conversion to Nr balanced Nr reconversion to N2, but 20th-century human activity intensified...

The low efficiency of nitrogen (N) fertilizers is a frequent problem in agriculture that impacts the environment. Omeprazole (OMP) has been reported to promote N uptake and assimilation in tomato, basil, and corn. However, information about the effec...

This study aimed to clarify the differences in the decomposition rates, soil carbon and nitrogen contents, soil enzyme activities, and the structure of the soil bacterial community between the four Asteraceae invasive plants (AIPs), Bidens pilosa L.,...

Selenium (Se) and nitrate have the potential to modify rice root architecture, but it is unclear how Se is linked to changes in the rice seedlings nitrate status. Thus, rice seedlings were grown in nutrient solutions containing either 0- or 10-µ...

Recovery efforts for the endangered Serianthes nelsonii have been deficient. To learn more about leaf development costs, the content of biomass and essential elements were determined in the supportive and laminae tissue of leaves that were constructe...

The complex ramifications of global climate change, which is caused by heightened concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, are deeply concerning. Addressing this crisis necessitates the immediate implementation of adaptive...

The risk of nitrate contamination became a reality for Fairmont in Minnesota, when water rich in NO3-N exceeded the drinking water standard of 10 mg/L. This was unexpected because this city draws its municipal water from a chain of lakes that are fed...

Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria that colonize the drylands contribute to carbon and nitrogen supplies in nutrient-poor soils. As one of the representative cyanobacteria, Nostoc flagelliforme adapts well to the arid environment in the form of fi...

Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient for the production of vegetable crops, but anthropogenic sources pose risks due to its transformation into several reactive forms and movement throughout the environment. The bulk of the N research to date t...

The availability of nitrogen in the soil is influenced by several factors associated with the forms and characteristics of organic nitrogen present in it, as well as by any property that impacts its microbiological and biochemical activity. The objec...
