Ciclo del nitrógeno en América Latina: impulsores, impactos y vulnerabilidades

This executive summary describes a project and the creation of the Nitrogen, Society, and Environment Network (Nnet) to increase knowledge of the continental nitrogen cycle in Latin America. The initiative focuses on measuring biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), atmospheric deposition, and the impacts of human activities—such as soy production, mining, and urbanization—on nitrogen reservoirs and ecosystem biodiversity across several countries.

• Nitrogen deposition in northern Argentina is approximately 8 kg N /ha/year. In So Paulo, Brazil, air pollutant maps show high concentrations of NOx from cities and industrial areas, while rural and livestock establishments contribute NH3.
