novel practices to improve crop access to water and nutrients. Increased understanding of root function has implications for … selection and breeding of crops to maximise capture of water and nutrients. Roots are also a means of delivering natural plant … inhibition of the nitrification process in soil (conversion of ammonium to nitrate) with possible benefits for improved nitrogen …

Due to eutrophication caused by heavy loads of nitrogen and phosphorus, the biological conditions of the Baltic Sea …. It is recognized that the nitrogen and phosphorus loads to the Baltic Sea must be reduced by 50% in order to restore the … sea. The main purpose of this paper is to calculate cost effective nitrogen and phosphorus reductions to the Baltic Sea …

conditions for undesirable phytoplankton blooms. Microalgae are efficient in removing nitrogen, phosphorus, and toxic metals from … wastewater under controlled environments. If key nutrients in the wastewater stream can be used to grow microalgae for biofuel … production, the nutrients can be removed, thus significantly reducing the risk of harmful phytoplankton overgrowth.

Fluctuations in total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and in the N/P ratio (i.e. in terms of mass) were measured … source of N and P inputs, this being especially pronounced for phosphorus that was present mainly in particulate form. In all …. This implies that the reservoir's biological communities preferentially store phosphorus, no doubt to maximise their …

This paper describes an assessment of the nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics of the River Kennet in the south east of … of nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) pollution. The results from a suite of simulation models are integrated to assess … the key spatial and temporal variations in the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) chemistry, and the influence of changes in …
