We need to talk about nitrogen

This publication by the Stockholm Environment Institute provides background information and evidence regarding atmospheric nitrogen deposition in the UK, focusing on its sources, its effects on semi-natural habitats, plants, and fungi, and the methods used to record it.

• Human activity, specifically the reliance on manufactured nitrogen-based fertilisers for livestock feed and crop yields, has altered the global nitrogen cycle. In the last century, reactive nitrogen levels have doubled globally and tripled in Europe, leading to biodiversity loss, ecosystem eutrophication, climate change exacerbation, and human health impacts.
