Across the globe, distribution of fertilizer nitrogen is very uneven, with some areas subject to nitrogen pollution and others suffering from reduced soil fertility, diminished crop production, and other consequences of inadequate supply. Agriculture and the Nitrogen Cycle provides a global assessment of the role of nitrogen fertilizer in the nitrogen cycle. The focus of the book is regional, emphasizing the need to maintain food and fiber production while minimizing environmental impacts where fertilizer is abundant, and the need to enhance fertilizer utilization in systems where nitrogen is limited. The book is derived from a workshop held by the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) in Kampala, Uganda, that brought together the world's leading scientists to examine and discuss the nitrogen cycle and related problems. It contains an overview chapter that summarizes the group's findings, four chapters on cross-cutting issues, and thirteen background chapters. The book offers a unique synthesis and provides an up-to-date, broad perspective on the issues of nitrogen fertilizer in food production and the interaction of nitrogen and the environment. 410 0$aSCOPE report ;$v65. 606 $aNitrogen fertilizers 606 $aNitrogen fertilizers$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aNitrogen cycle 615 0$aNitrogen fertilizers. 615 0$aNitrogen fertilizers$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aNitrogen cycle. 676 $a631.8/4 701 $aMosier$b Arvin$01813205 701 $aSyers$b John K$g(John Keith)$01813206 701 $aFreney$b J.
