Technical Abstract: Although the formation of reactive nitrogen is a natural process, human activities such as biomass burning, combustion of fossil fuels, and production of synthetic fertilizers have dramatically altered the natural nitrogen cycle. In Nitrogen Overload, Brian Katz, a retired U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist, explores the costs and benefits associated with anthropogenic releases of reactive nitrogen at a global scale. The book covers an array of topics ranging from local to global and involving the complex interactions between nature and society. Although the book is particularly well suited to hydrologists, it will be of interest to research scientists working in a variety of different fields, including ecology, environmental science, and biogeochemistry. |
