Agriculture is the main source of nitrogen loading (EEA, 2012) and is the sector with the largest remaining emission … reduction potential (Sutton et al., 2011). Furthermore, surpluses of nitrogen are forecast to grow in the next decade (FAO, 2008 …). The objective of this study is to evaluate the determinants of the use of nitrogen inputs in agriculture, and the effects …
