Tracing crop residue N into subsequent crops: Insight from long-term crop rotations that vary in diversity
Long-term diverse rotation alters nitrogen cycling bacterial groups and nitrous oxide emissions after nitrogen fertilization
This study measured the impact of 35 years of crop rotation diversification on soil microbial communities and nitrous oxide (N2O)

Nitrogen inhibitors reduced N2O emissions without permanently changing soil microbial communities
Using fertilizer efficiently is vital for managing agroecosystems sustainably. It makes the most of crop productivity while protecting the environment.
