“…From 1860 to the early 1990s, anthropogenic creation of reactive N compounds increased globally from approximately 15 to 156 Tg N y − 1 (Galloway et al, 2004). Human conversion of N 2 to more reactive N species has caused a wide range of environmental problems, ranging from effects on atmospheric chemistry, deterioration of freshwater quality, marine eutrophication, to declines in biodiversity (Henriksen et al, 1997;Howarth, 2008;Pastuszak et al, 2014).…”

“…The natural factors include land use/land cover types, soil types, meteorological, geological, hydrological conditions, and etc. The anthropogenic factors include emissions from various pollution sources, the operating pollutant removal facilities, and the implemented best management practices (Lepisto et al, 2006;Pastuszak et al, 2014;Gallo et al, 2015). The various rates, frequencies, and locations of N discharge as well as the diverse influencing factors of N transport and transformation make it very challenging to quantify each pollution source's N load contributions, especially in those river basins with complex pollution sources but limited data on pollution sources and N concentrations in water environment.…”

Environmental problems such as eutrophication caused by excessive nutrient discharge are global challenges. There are complex pollution sources of nitrogen (N) discharge in many river basins worldwide. Knowledge of its pollution sources and their respective load contributions is essential to developing effective N pollution control strategies. N loads from all known anthropogenic pollution sources in the Upper Huai River basin of China were simulated with the process-based SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model. The performances of SWAT driven by daily and hourly rainfall inputs were assessed and it was found that the one driven by hourly rainfall outperformed the one driven by daily rainfall in simulating both total nitrogen (TN) and ammonia nitrogen (NH 4-N) loads. The hourly SWAT model was hence used to examine the spatiotemporal patterns of TN and NH 4-N loads and their source attributions. TN load exhibited significant seasonal variations with the largest in summer and the smallest in spring. Despite its declining proportion of contribution downstream, crop production remained

“…The consumer engagement concept "Diet for a Green Plant" offers a sustainable lifestyle with consumption of sufficient good food without threatening the environment of the Baltic Sea or the planetary boundaries. With the engagement of all of the actors in the food chain, the concept of a resource-efficient farming system could be realized in different parts of the world [7,14,44].…”

Eutrophication caused by agriculture is an increasing ecological threat to the Baltic Sea. Modern, resource-efficient farming systems based on integrated plant and animal production, effective nutrient recycling and low external inputs can enhance multiple agroecosystem services, resulting in reduced pollution. Practical examples of such farming systems are not widespread. Therefore, the Baltic Ecological Recycling Agriculture and Society (BERAS) Implementation project aimed to foster this systemic shift. In this paper, agronomic strategies are described to improve nitrogen (N) efficiency for the conversion to ecological recycling agriculture (ERA). First, N farm gate balances of 22 farms in conversion are presented. They showed a large variation from −9 to 90 kg·N·ha. Then, the use of guidelines and advisory tools to improve the nitrogen efficiency is described. The legume estimation trainer and nitrogen budget calculator help assess and optimize the nitrogen supply from legumes under farming conditions. The application of the crop rotation planning tool "ROTOR" guides advisors and farmers to identify agronomically and environmentally sound rotations. The tools can help overcome key agronomic constraints by implementing ERA. The necessity of accompanying measures from policy and the need to change food consumption patterns are discussed.

“…The environmental effects of agricultural production may be manifested directly in a measurable way through the change of soil fertility indicators and in the composition and quality of groundwater or indirectly in the change of the socalled agro-environmental indicators informing about the potential (possible) impact of agriculture (Fotyma et al 2010;Kopiński 2010). One of many such indicators, in addition to the consumption of chemical plant protection products and energy, used and required, among others, by Eurostat and OECD 6 (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) is the balance of nutrients, including nitrogen and phosphorus, being the main biogens (Kopiński 2017a;Pastuszak et al 2014).…”

Subject and purpose of work: Agricultural production activity brings about specific environmental effects. The aim of the study was to analyse changes in agricultural production in regions of Poland (NUTS-2) in the context of environmental impact using the gross nitrogen balance. Materials and methods: The analysis covered the medium-term perspective of 2001-2016. The primary source of information was statistical data of the Polish Central Statistical Office (Główny Urząd Statystyczny - GUS). Results: During the 2002-2004 period, the balance of gross nitrogen balance in Poland did not change and amounted to an average of 47.5 kg N∙ha-1 UAA (Utilized Agricultural Area). The progressive extensification of plant production in the following provinces: Slaskie, Malopolskie, Podkarpackie and Swietokrzyskie, is accompanied by a rapid reduction in the stocking density of livestock. Conclusions: The nitrogen balance, highly differentiated regionally, just as its individual elements, show the potential differentiation scale of the agricultural impact on the state of the environment. Very high balance surpluses occurring in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Lodzkie and Wielkopolskie provinces may indicate high environmental pressure from the agricultural production.
