Kurz zum Klima: Überdüngung und Lachgasemissionen
Lippelt, Jana - In: ifo Schnelldienst 64 (2011) 23, pp. 81-83
Die Ausbringung von Düngern hat nicht nur ertragssteigernde Vorteile, sie kann auch zu erheblichen Umweltbelastungen führen. Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die weltweite Überdüngung und die daraus entstehenden Lachgasemissionen.

Nitrate Contamination of Groundwater in Austria: Determinants and Indicators
Wick, Katharina; Heumesser, Christine; Schmid, Erwin - 2010
Nitrogen is an important input to agricultural production but also detrimentally affects the environmental quality of air, soil and water. Identifying the determinants of nitrate pollution and in turn defining sensible performance indicators to design, enforce and monitor regulatory policies is...

Where is commercial farming expanding in Mozambique? Evidence from agricultural surveys
Glover, Steven M.; Salvucci, Vincenzo; Jones, Sam - 2016
This paper studies the dynamics of the agricultural sector in Mozambique, focusing on the role of commercial farms. Using agricultural survey data from 2002 to 2012, we analyse the spatial distribution of large farms and identify factors influencing their location decisions. We find that the...

Population density and urban air quality
Borck, Rainald; Schrauth, Philipp - 2019
We use panel data from Germany to analyze the effect of population density on urban air pollution (nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and ozone). To address unobserved heterogeneity and omitted variables, we present long difference/fixed effects estimates and instrumental variables estimates,...

Urban Pollution: A Global Perspective
Borck, Rainald; Schrauth, Philipp - 2022
We use worldwide satellite data to analyse how population size and density affect urban pollution. We find that density significantly increases pollution exposure. Looking only at urban areas, we find that population size affects exposure more than density. Moreover, the effect is driven mostly...
