Reviews
It is a pleasure to read a solidly based scientific report written in a way that is obviously relevant to policy makers. This is a breath of fresh air. --Pedro Sanchez Decisions must be based on best available knowledgea. SCOPE has again produced an in depth review that will be welcomed by the international science community and decision makers in both the private and public sectors. The volume is of high relevance on all scales from the farm level to global food security. --Thomas Rosswall This book is the most comprehensive global synthesis on the nitrogen cycle in agriculture conducted to date. It especially addresses the critical need to understand and hence improve the management of nitrogen fertilizer to maintain crop production while reducing external consequences of fertilizer use. Importantly, it evaluates ways to enhance crop production in areas of the world where nitrogen fertilizers are very expensive. --Dennis Keeney
