Netherlands delays nitrogen emissions target, defying its own judges and the EU

The Netherlands is rolling back its nitrogen reduction targets, setting the stage for a showdown with its own judges and Brussels over one of Europe’s most contentious environmental issues

The Netherlands delays its nitrogen emissions target, defying its own judges and the EU.

The Dutch government confirmed it will push back its deadline to halve nitrogen emissions from 2030 to 2035, defying a recent court order.

With its high-density farming, the Netherlands has long been ground zero for Europe’s nitrogen crisis. The country ranks among the EU's worst for nitrogen pollution per hectare.

Did you know some metamorphic #rocks, called metabasic rocks, are an enormous source of #nitrogen being carried deep into the Earth through subduction? A deep nitrogen (N) cycling study by Ananya Mallik, Anna Rebaza, Paul Kapp, Long Li, Yifan Du, Ahmed Al Shams, Emily Cooperdock unveiled these and more. Check out their dataset and article at https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.23504415 and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2023.10.007.

#Whale pee moves vital nutrients thousands of miles
'We often think of plants as the lungs of the planet. Animals are the circulatory system.’
Some new research found that great #whales—including right whales, gray whales, and humpbacks—transport roughly 4,000 tons of #nitrogen to low-nutrient coastal areas in the tropics and subtropics every single year. Described as the “great whale pee funnel.”

And it's not the most funny...

Read about #PhosphorusLimitation #nitrogen and #oceanDesertification
And of course #biodiversityloss

In 20 to 30 years, oceans could be empty and we won't be able to grow food

This is amazing the speed at which we are destroying the planet, knowing it and most important knowing the solutions

We simply do not want to change...

How do plants fine-tune their genes to use nitrogen? Is it a conserved mechanism?

This #preprint (from Nicola Patron & team) delves into this transcriptional network to answer these questions.

#Agriculture is main cause of seasonal carbon ups and downs, study finds

"The study found that agricultural #nitrogen is responsible for 45% of the fluctuation increase in the annual carbon cycle. More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and warmer temperatures contribute 40% and 18%, respectively."

https://phys.org/news/2025-03-agriculture-main-seasonal-carbon-ups.html

Again:
"The research found that agricultural NITROGEN FERTILIZER is the biggest contributor."

While oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up 96% of most human bodies, my body is composed of sulfur, argon, calcium, and samarium.
