Workshop

Managing the Cycles of Nitrogen and Phosphorus: Mitigation and Adaptation

calendar
Oct 22nd, 2008 - Oct 25th, 2008
location
Aspen

This meeting focused on identifying and developing the information that society needs to respond effectively to man-made changes in nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. Impacts of these changes include emissions of gases like nitrous oxide, eutrophication of streams and lakes, ocean dead zones and loss of biodiversity. Focus was placed on exploring nutrient limited agriculture systems with poor yields and those applying excessive amounts of nutrient input with consideration on how to achieve better yields with minimal environmental damage.

Keywords: Nitrogen; phosphorus; agriculture; human interactions; land use change; solutions
