Reactive Nitrogen Assessment in India is a reference for anyone interested in Reactive N, from researchers to students to environmental managers. Although the main processes that affect the N cycle are well known, this book is focused on the causes and effects of disruption of the N cycle, specifically in India. In understanding the complexity of the interactions between variables like industry or local ecology, it impacts both the science and the policy of managing nitrogen. As a global, regional, as well as local issue, this work adds to the scientific body of knowledge working towards solutions and the understanding of the nitrogen issue in a region with a rapidly growing population, with limited agricultural land available and diverse socio-economic pressures. Reactive Nitrogen Assessment in India provides a precise understanding of the scale of the nitrogen use, misuse, and release through various agricultural, industrial, vehicular, and other activities as well as their contribution to the pollution of water and air. Drawing upon the collective work of the Indian Nitrogen Group, this reference book will help with the major challenge in providing reliable estimates of Nitrogen transfers within different ecosystems as well as the next steps, which is to be able to develop balanced, cost-effective, and feasible strategies to reduce the amount of reactive nitrogen where it is not wanted. Identifies all significant sources of reactive Nitrogen flows and their contribution to the Nitrogen-cycle on a national, regional, and global levelCovers nitrogen management across sectors: environment, food security, energy, and healthProvides a single reference on Reactive Nitrogen in India to help in a number of activities including: evaluating, analyzing, synthesizing, documenting, and communicating on Reactive Nitrogen INDICE: 1.
