Climate change also alters nitrogen in soils and plants, shaping food quality, water safety, and pollution risks worldwide.

Climate change is not only warming the planet and disrupting rainfall, it is also quietly rewiring the way nitrogen moves ...

Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

Nitrate pollution has become one of the most widespread water quality challenges in intensively farmed regions around the ...

CO2 can stimulate plant growth, but only when enough nitrogen is available—and that key ingredient has been seriously ...

A new study has revealed how tiny microbes in rivers and wetlands across China help clean up excess nitrogen pollution, offering fresh insights into the health of freshwater ecosystems and the global ...

“My tattoo is taken from a 1950’s biology textbook. The reason it means so much to me is because of the relevence of the nitrogen cycle to the cycle of life. The horse dies, which feeds the plant, ...

Nearly a century ago, a German chemist named Fritz Haber figured out a way to tap into the atmosphere's vast reservoir of nitrogen. That innovation led to nitrogen fertilizer, which transformed world ...
