These changes are not evenly distributed  around the world; rather, they are greatest in regions of significant  industrial and agricultural activity, as the synthesis and use of  inorganic fertilizers, cultivation of legumes, burning of fossil  fuels, and the simple act of concentrating humans and animals in dense  populations all lead to the release of excess, reactive forms of  nitrogen into the environment. In part because reactive nitrogen is  frequently a limiting nutrient in many terrestrial and aquatic  systems, an excess can lead to a variety of adverse effects on both  environmental and human health. \u003cbr\u003e  The North Atlantic Ocean and its contributing watersheds constitute a  region which has seen perhaps the greatest increase in  anthropogenically-derived nitrogen. In May of 1994, the International  Scope Nitrogen Project, with funding from the Andrew Mellon  Foundation, the United Nations Environment Program, and the World  Meteorological Organization, sponsored a workshop held on Block  Island, RI, USA, entitled `Nitrogen Dynamics of the North Atlantic  Basin'. More than 50 scientists from 12 different countries convened  with a unique set of goals: an integrated and comprehensive estimate  of the current nitrogen cycle of the ocean, coastal systems, and  contributing watersheds of the North Atlantic region; an analysis of  human-induced changes to those cycles; and an assessment of the  current and future effects of human-induced changes to nitrogen  cycling throughout the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401072939\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401072939\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1776-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 304\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340588478604,"sku":"9789401072939","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401072939_ef26bddb-662e-4de1-a7a4-0504d4cbeb32.jpg?v=1755045371","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401072939","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
