Comparing chenopod PPROF from this study to published literature results, in 2005 and 2006, the chenopods completely resorbed P (sensu Killingbeck, 1996), and in 2007, PPROF was just above the complete resorption range. Although PPROF was highly variable among asters, it was well above th ...

Human impact on the nitrogen cycle



Human impact on the nitrogen cycle is diverse. Agricultural and industrial nitrogen (N) inputs to the environment currently exceed inputs from natural N fixation. As a consequence of anthropogenic inputs, the global nitrogen cycle (Fig. 1) has been significantly altered over the past century. Global atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) mole fractions have increased from a pre-industrial value of ~270 nmol/mol to ~319 nmol/mol in 2005. Human activities account for over one-third of N2O emissions, most of which are due to the agricultural sector. This article is intended to give a brief review of the history of anthropogenic N inputs, and reported impacts of nitrogen inputs on selected terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
