Optimizing water and nitrogen management is an effective measure to reduce nitrogen fertilizer losses and environmental pollution risks. To quantify t…

Inland and Coastal Aquatic Systems Do Heavy Lifting in the Global Nitrogen Cycle

After more than a decade of research and collaboration, researchers from Michigan Technological University, Baylor University and Boston University have discovered that inland and coastal aquatic systems play a much larger role in nitrogen fixation and the global nitrogen cycle than their small surface area would suggest.Amy Marcarelli, Michigan Tech biological sciences professor, is one of three principal investigators on the project, along wit…
