Biogeochemists have shown that rare doubly heavy nitrogen-15 molecules act as a natural fingerprint of microbial nitrogen ...

Nitrogen is essential for life. It's needed to build proteins, DNA and many other components of cells. Although nitrogen gas ...

Nitrogen is one of life's building blocks, but it's only helpful in the right amounts. Too much nitrogen in water, for ...

UCLA-led researchers show that rare pairs of heavy nitrogen atoms act as a natural fingerprint for microbial nitrogen removal ...

Nitrogen may not get the same level of attention as its neighbors on the periodic table, carbon and oxygen. But like its neighbors, it's an element we can't live without. Nitrogen compounds have ...

Nitrogen is essential for life. It's needed to build proteins, DNA and many other components of cells. Although nitrogen gas makes up almost 80 ...

Soil erosion is widely known for degrading land and reducing agricultural productivity. But new research shows it may also play a far more complex and important role in regulating the global nitrogen ...

EPA researchers are using the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system to understand the life cycle of nitrogen from its release into the atmosphere to its deposition on land and water.

Key takeawaysMicrobes remove usable nitrogen by converting it into nitrogen gas, but measuring this process is difficult ...
