Long-term nitrogen burial exceeds denitrification in global fjords - Nature Communications Contrary to previous assumptions, nitrogen burial – not denitrification – dominates nitrogen loss in fjords, accounting for up to 18% of oceanic nitrogen burial. Deoxygenation may yet alter the future...

After plant & animal cells first evolved 600m years ago, it took life less 30m years to recover from mass extinctions. The same time it takes for fossil fuels to form. Today, we throw life back 1.5bn years due to #nitrogen aka meat & fertilisers. In 1.5bn years the sun will evaporate water on Earth.

Pulling Nitrogen From the Air At a moment where fertilizer trade concerns are dominating headlines, a revolutionary sourcing alternative has emerged — as if from thin air.

Excellent! Updated tech that can pull #nitrogen out of the air for fertiliser. Onfarm machines that are cheaper than applying standard nitrogen #fertiliser
There are already machines available in the US that can do this.

Nitrogen prices are the highest they've been in a long time - what are you doing to combat these high prices?

Our "Fert Curve" trials aim to maintain strong yields with reduced nitrogen rates! Read about the project:

An uprooted vetch seedling plant that shows nodules on the roots that house nitrogen fixing bacteria.

Spot the nodules on this vetch? It houses nitrogen fixing bacteria in an anaerobic environment. With sugars from the plant they fix nitrogen from the air making it available to the plants to use to grow.

Can any one tell me why they are a little bit red in color?
