In the new cycle of AMPs in the UK, the Environment Agency (EA) is starting to impose total nitrogen limits in accordance with the European Urban Wastewater Directive for nutrient sensitive zones.

A research team examining three major regions of the Eurasian steppe shows that soil denitrification, the microbial pathway generating N₂O and dinitrogen (N₂), is controlled by different environmental ...

These two processes play a pivotal role in the removal of excess nitrogen from ecosystems. This research sheds light on the multi-dimensional spatial patterns of denitrification and anammox along a ...
