“…On comparing Table 3 and 12, it is evident that the percentage loss is greater in the case When 0.05% nitrogen as ammonium sulphate are added than in case of 0.1% nitrogen. Similar results have been obtained with NaNOa (Table 6 and 15) and urea (Table 9 and 18). This can be attributed to the surface nature of these reactions.…”

“…ZoBell (1933) demonstrated photochemical oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate by sunlight and by irradiation from a mercury vapour lamp. This result was also achieved by Corbet (1934) who further showed the intermediate formation of hyponitrite. ZoBell found that the reaction went better in natural sea water than in distilled water or artificial sea water.…”

i and 2) Brandt (1899) first suggested that phytoplankton organisms must, by removing from the illuminated surface layers of the sea the nutrients required for their further growth, place a limit on their continued multiplication, and he and Raben for long worked on the problem (see Brandt, 1927, for review of earlier work). The thesis has been proved true beyond all doubt by work which has followed improvements in analytical technique by Atkins and Harvey. In many waters reserves of nitrate are formed during the winter months and are used up, often completely, with the coming of longer days. Interest is now centred on the mechanism by which the nitrate reserve is built up and depleted and on the role played by other compounds of nitrogen. The time has come to review the nitrogen problem as a whole and to assess the importance of many possible reactions in which nitrogen may be involved. The plan of this paper is based on Fig. 1, in which associated reactions are N204 -»-NMejO--NHMe, + CHjO Fig. 1. The numbers indicate the reaction group in which the reaction is considered in the text.

“…It is thought that the intermediate compound nitroxyl (HNO) may dismutate chemically under low O 2 concentrations to N 2 O, or that the nitrate reductase enzyme may produce N 2 O when O 2 concentrations are low and NO 2 − replaces O 2 as the terminal electron acceptor during metabolic processes (Schmidt, ; Haynes et al ., ). The first article that showed that nitrification could produce N 2 O was published by Corbet ().…”

Losses of nitrogen from the soil/plant system not only reduce soil fertility and plant yield but can also create adverse impacts on the environment. Ammonia emissions into the atmosphere contribute to acid rain and represent an indirect source of nitrous oxide greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrate leaching losses into rivers and lakes can cause eutrophication resulting in excessive growth of aquatic weeds and algae, which can reduce fish populations and the recreational value of the water. Nitrate contamination of drinking water supplies can cause health risks. Legislation that is designed to limit nitrate leaching losses from land has become a constraint on agricultural land use in many countries. Nitrous oxide emissions into the atmosphere contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer and also make a significant contribution to climate change. This review describes the nitrogen cycle in temperate soil/plant systems, the processes involved in each of the individual nitrogen loss pathways, the factors affecting the amounts of losses and the methods that are available to reduce these losses. The review has shown that careful management of temperate soil/plant systems using best management practices and newly developed technologies can increase the sustainability of agriculture and reduce its impact on the environment.
