Summary: In this study, a Re-IV pincer platform is reported to mediate N-2 splitting with unprecedented yield through chemical reduction or electrolysis. The resulting Re-V nitrides from N-2 undergo facile nitrogen atom transfer to nitric oxide, giving nitrous oxide nearly quantitatively. Experimental and computational results suggest that outer-sphere ReN/NO radical coupling is facilitated by the activation of the nitride via initial coordination of NO.

Summary: This study investigated the impacts of different alkaline biochars (from walnut shell, coconut shell, and coal) on gas emissions from liquid pig manure. The results showed that the application of biochars significantly increased NH3 and CH4 emissions, with the absorbed N content of the biochars lower than the enhanced gaseous losses through NH3 emissions. The total greenhouse gas emissions were also higher with biochar application, mainly due to enhanced CH4 emissions.

Summary: Biochar application to soil is a promising tool for sequestering carbon, ensuring food security, and mitigating greenhouse gases and emissions of nitrous oxide and nitric oxide. However, limited research has been conducted on the long-term and practical effects of repeatedly amending biochar to soil. A three-year field experiment showed that biochar application significantly decreased methane, nitrous oxide, and nitric oxide emissions without hindering crop yield or mitigation of other greenhouse gases and nitrogen oxides.

Summary: Due to the high application rates and low utilization efficiency of inorganic nitrogen fertilizer, conventional citrus orchards in central China tend to cause nitro-gen losses and extensive pollution. A two-year field experiment was performed to evaluate the pathways of nitrogen loss and the effects of reduced nitrogen fertilizer rates and organic manure. The results showed that leaching was the dominant pathway of nitrogen loss, and reducing nitrogen fertilizer rates and using organic manure both had advantages and disadvantages in terms of mitigating nitrogen losses.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the combined effects of organic manure and nitrification inhibitor on nitrogen transformation, nitrous oxide emissions, and gene abundance of ammonia oxidizers in acidic and alkaline soils. The results demonstrated that the addition of nitrapyrin along with organic amendment effectively reduced N2O emissions and improved N recovery and utilization in both types of soils. Nitrapyrin significantly inhibited the gene abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in alkaline soil and inhibited the growth of ammonia-oxidizing archaea in acidic soil.

Summary: Fertilizer-intensive agriculture is a major contributor to damaging emissions. The use of biochar and zero-valent carbon as amendments can help mitigate nitrogen emissions. Simulation results indicate that the impact of biochar application on nitrogen emissions varies greatly, depending on the nitrification process. Under certain conditions, both biochar and zero-valent carbon application have the potential to reduce nitrogen emissions.

Summary: The EU has set targets to reduce agricultural nitrogen (N) losses through innovative fertilizing approaches such as incorporating fertilizer into soils, using urease inhibitors, and adjusting N inputs to crop needs. A case study in the Murcia region of Spain assessed the impact of 8 N-fertilizing alternatives on crop yields and environmental N losses. The most effective option was removing synthetic N fertilizers, leading to a 75% reduction in N surpluses but with associated yield penalties. The most feasible alternative was removing urea, resulting in a 19% reduction in N inputs and negligible yield losses.

Summary: Improved animal health can reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensities in livestock systems while increasing productivity. However, modellers need to understand the pathways linking animal health to emissions and how to incorporate them into models to effectively reduce emissions. Workshops, online exchanges, and surveys were used to identify disease-related model parameters and test their application in evaluating models, which proved effective in assessing the potential of farm-scale models in characterizing livestock disease impacts on GHG emissions.

Summary: This study developed a method for quantifying the number of serious injuries during agricultural production processes and assessing the potential impact of changes in agricultural practices using a life cycle approach. Participant's parameter estimates varied considerably, but when normalized values were used, the results were generally consistent with other studies. The method has the potential to quantify the risk of injury associated with individual products and provide an ex-ante assessment of future developments in farming practices, given suitable empirical statistical data.

Summary: The study found that reducing nitrate leaching may not significantly improve groundwater quality, as other factors such as groundwater vulnerability also play a role. By combining agricultural hazard with groundwater vulnerability, a spatially explicit groundwater contamination risk was calculated for mainland Portugal, showing a significant increase in highly contaminated areas. This index proved particularly useful for contrasting situations of vulnerability and hazard, requiring distinct mitigation measures to reduce groundwater contamination.

Summary: This study explores the feasibility of reducing nitrogen waste and the pathways to success. It finds that the livestock sector has the greatest potential to increase nitrogen use efficiency in the current agro-food system. Among the 144 analyzed combinations of intervention options, 12 combinations can reduce nitrogen losses by about 50%, with 11 involving dietary changes. The study also assesses the societal appreciation of interventions and concludes that moderate intervention options can achieve halving of nitrogen losses at the lowest societal costs, with diet change appearing to be an essential condition for success.

Summary: Irrigation is often overlooked in agricultural nitrogen budgets, but it can be a significant source of nitrogen in irrigated agriculture. This study quantified the nitrogen input from irrigation water sources to cropping systems in Europe, showing that the nitrogen input increased over a 10-year period, with the Mediterranean region being the main hotspot. By not considering irrigation, environmental and agricultural policies are underestimating the extent of nitrogen pollution in European irrigated systems.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.
