impacts on nutrient fluxes (nitrogen and phosphorus) and land use as the result of a change from a meat based diet to a … reference situation. Total emissions of nitrogen and phosphorus into water decrease (between 15% and 11% for nitrogen and by 5 …% to 6% for phosphorus) and nitrogen concentrations in groundwater change substantially depending on the intensity of …

Production and price risks affect optimal nitrogen use as well as the effects of nitrogen taxation if farmers’ risk … aversion is taken into account. We apply a bio-economic model to investigate the influence of risk aversion on nitrogen use in … of changes in these sources of risks on optimal levels of nitrogen use and its influence on the effects of nitrogen …

A 45% reduction in riverine total nitrogen flux from the 1980–1996 time period is needed to meet water quality goals in … the Mississippi Basin and Gulf of Mexico. This paper addresses the goal of reducing nitrogen in the Mississippi River … nitrogen loading from tile drained agriculture using a simulation model and expert review. Second, information about the net …
