In a study published in Journal of Remote Sensing, researchers introduced a nitrogen application decision-making scheme based on UAV multispectral imagery.

The issue is twofold:
- Too much synthetic (fossil fuel) and livestock (ammonia) nitrogen
- No enough nitrogen fixing bacteria left

#Nitrogen #Extinction
This is a good talk about how the #IPCC gets #nitrogen and CO2 land sinks wrong. But the talk also gets science wrong. It's NOT just legumes that form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen fixing bacteria, like mentioned in the talk. All plants do this.

#Nitrogen aka protein obsession is a dangerous mental disorder.
#protein = sugar + nitrogen
"More protein" is our go to solution for everything today. Plants do not need fossil fuels or compost to produce enough protein. The contrary is true. Too much protein is killing all future food on Earth.
#Soil is a bacterial digestive byproduct. Oxygen is a bacterial waste product (via chloroplasts). #bacteria are the only primary primary producers on Earth. Plant & animal cells have evolved around #bacteria to serve them. Seeds carry all the bacteria in- & outside that fix #nitrogen & produce soil.
SEM results show (a) direct and indirect effects of nitrogen addition on species asynchrony, TD resistance, PD resistance, FD resistance and community biomass resistance. (b) Direct and indirect effects of nitrogen addition on TD recovery, PD recovery, FD recovery and community biomass recovery. Red and black solid arrows are standardized path coefficient variables representing significant positive and negative paths, respectively, and the thickness of the line is proportional to the strength of the path coefficient.
#Nitrogen enrichment can have a negative impact on #CommunityResistance, but can accelerate the recovery process. This is mainly achieved by affecting the #AsynchronyOfSpecies rather than the resistance or resilience of plant diversity.

>30% of global fertilizer supplies pass through the Strait of Hormuz. In addition,

The #US gets about 97% of its #Potassium from #Gulf foreign sources, plus 18% of its #Nitrogen and 13% of its #Phosphate. Critical components for making #Fertilizer.
A #plant or animal isn't a single organism but a "bacteria colony." The chloroplasts (which do the photosynthesis) and the mitochondria (which provide the energy) were once free-living bacteria. Plant DNA is a management system for a collection of microbes. #Seeds have #nitrogen fixing 🦠 inside
#Canada
Remove #Potash supply in #CUSMA talks. #India/ #China & the Global South under Canada's new trade agreements will buy it up a bargain price.
Coupled w/ a loss of 51% #Nitrogen from Qatar & lack of enough/too costly diesel fuel:
This should be enough to reduce US food production by 50-65%.
Yield gains up to 24% were seen in field trials of rice plants with an improved version of a newly identified regulator. The discovery could help boost crop yields while reducing dependence on synthetic fertilisers: www.ox.ac.uk/news/2026-02... #Rice #Yields #PlantBreeding #Nitrogen #NUE #Fertilizer

About 25% of the global nitrogen fertilizer trade moves through that bottleneck. And unlike oil, fertilizer markets lack meaningful strategic reserves—making them particularly vulnerable to disruption.
