Nitrogen Cycling in the North Atlantic Ocean and its Watersheds Report of the International SCOPE Nitrogen Project

Nitrogen Cycling in the North Atlantic Ocean and its Watersheds Report of the International SCOPE Nitrogen Project / edited by Robert W. Howarth.

Human activity has dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle in recent decades. These changes are not evenly distributed around the world; rather, they are greatest in regions of significant industrial and agricultural activity, as the synthesis and use of inorganic fertilizers, cultivation of...
