Funded Activity Summary

Sustainable reactive nitrogen management for Australian ecosystems. This project aims to quantify the overall nitrogen budget and its influencing factors in Australia; benchmark Australian performance against other nations; assess the costs and benefits of reactive nitrogen (Nr) use; and analyse policy settings and their feasibility for addressing the challenges of Australian Nr management. Nr, if poorly managed, can cause significant environmental degradation, but is essential for ecosystems, especially agro-ecosystems. The project expects to provide a framework for the future sustainable use of Nr in relation to food production, environment protection and climate change in dry regions.
