Biogeochemists have shown that rare doubly heavy nitrogen-15 molecules act as a natural fingerprint of microbial nitrogen ...

A group of biogeochemists have shown that a rare form of the gas can act as a fingerprint for microbial nitrogen conversion.

Researchers using cryo-electron microscopy have discovered that methanogen nitrogenase forms an inactive protein supercomplex ...

A comprehensive review published in Nitrogen Cycling highlights significant advances in understanding the soil nitrogen cycle, emphasizing the critical role of microbial processes and innovative ...

Six of our nine planetary boundaries have now been crossed—and industrial agriculture are the main culprit. That is what a team of scientists under Johan Rockström reported in an article published in ...

More than 112 years ago, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch industrialized a process that could produce ammonia from nitrogen readily available in the air, creating commercially viable chemical fertilizer ...

Soil erosion is widely known for degrading land and reducing agricultural productivity. But new research shows it may also play a far more complex and important role in regulating the global nitrogen ...

Excess nitrogen is an issue in some places, but lack of the element is also an issue elsewhere, research shows. Since the mid-20th century, research and discussion has focused on the negative effects ...
