Invasive earthworms unlock arctic plant nitrogen limitation
Nature Communications, 2020 Arctic plant growth is predominantly nitrogen limited, where the slow nitrogen turnover in the soil is commonly attributed to the cold arctic climate. Here the authors show that the arctic plant-soil nitrogen cycling is also constrained by the lack of ...

Environmental Impacts—Freshwater Biogeochemistry [PDF]
, 2015 Climate change effects on freshwater biogeochemistry and riverine loads of biogenic elements to the Baltic Sea are not straight forward and are difficult to distinguish from other human drivers such as atmospheric deposition, forest and wetland management , eutrophication and hydrological alterations. Eutrophication is by far the most well-known factor

Environmental impacts and resource use of urban agriculture: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Environmental merits are a common motivation for many urban agriculture (UA) projects. One powerful way of quantifying environmental impacts is with life cycle assessment (LCA): a method that estimates the environmental impacts of producing, using, and ...
