	abstract = {The objective of the present paper is to review the factors which can affect N flow and surplus both at farm and at cow
level in order to point out areas with scope for future improvement. Special attention is given to management factors and
feeding. Besides information from the literature the paper is based on meta-analyses of our own and published results. With
regard to effects of production systems, mainly Danish surveys have been chosen as examples demonstrating the effects
obtained under practical conditions. A positive correlation between stocking rate and N surplus per hectare at farm gate level
is demonstrated, but there is also a considerable variation in N surplus per hectare at a given stocking rate. A number of
factors influencing N surplus and loss have been identified, and their impact on N surplus and production efficiency has been
estimated. N excretion per animal is an important factor for N turnover at farm level. Analysis of herd data indicates that
feeding strategy, breed and milk yield, together with energy conversion and the protein content of the diet, are important
factors explaining N excretion and N efficiency of cows. Reduction of N intake by optimal synchronisation of energy and
protein supply over time, especially in pasture-based systems, is one way of reducing N excretion from cows. Furthermore,
the ideal profile of absorbed amino acids should be identified, and models to estimate amino acid supply to the intestine
should be further improved. The effect of reducing N excretion from cows has to be evaluated at farm level as manure is
used as fertiliser for crop production. Overall, it seems possible to reduce the N surplus through better management and
feeding without reducing production efficiency.},

	volume = {28},

	pages = {148-154},
	abstract = {Livestock slurry in animal houses, in manure stores and applied on fields is in Denmark the most important source of ammonia (NH3) in the atmosphere. The emitted NH3 is a source of NH3 and ammonium (NH4 +) deposition, which causes eutrophication of N-deficient ecosystems and may form NH4 +-based particles in the air, which are a risk to health. This study examines the reductions in NH3 emissions from pig houses, manure stores and manure applied in the field achieved by acidifying the slurry in-house. Sulphuric acid was used to acidify pig slurry to pH < 6 and the system was constructed is such a way as to prevent foaming in the animal house as well as during storage. Acidification of the pig slurry reduced the NH3 emission from pig houses by 70\% compared with standard techniques. Acidification reduced NH3 emission from stored slurry to less than 10\% of the emission from untreated slurry, and the NH3 emission from applied slurry was reduced by 67\%. The mineral fertilizer equivalent (MFE) of acidified slurry was 43\% higher compared with the MFE of untreated slurry when applied to the soil. The odour emission from the slurry was not affected significantly by the treatment. The slurry acidification system is approved Best Available Technology (BAT) in Denmark.},

	abstract = {A comprehensive assessment of policy impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural soils re- quires careful consideration of both socio-economic aspects and the environmental heterogeneity of the landscape. We developed a modelling framework that links the large-scale economic model for agriculture CAPRI (Common Agricul- tural Policy Regional Impact assessment) with the biogeo- chemistry model DNDC (DeNitrification DeComposition) to simulate GHG fluxes, carbon stock changes and the nitrogen budget of agricultural soils in Europe. The framework allows the ex-ante simulation of agricultural or agri-environmental policy impacts on a wide range of environmental problems such as climate change (GHG emissions), air pollution and groundwater pollution. Those environmental impacts can be analyzed in the context of economic and social indicators as calculated by the economic model. The methodology con- sists of four steps: (i) definition of appropriate calculation units that can be considered as homogeneous in terms of eco- nomic behaviour and environmental response; (ii) downscal- ing of regional agricultural statistics and farm management information from a CAPRI simulation run into the spatial calculation units; (iii) designing environmental model sce- narios and model runs; and finally (iv) aggregating results for interpretation. We show the first results of the nitrogen bud- get in croplands in fourteen countries of the European Union and discuss possibilities to improve the detailed assessment of nitrogen and carbon fluxes from European arable soils.},

	abstract = {The number of publications on environmental footprint indicators has been growing rapidly, but with limited efforts to integrate different footprints into a coherent framework. Such integration is important for comprehensive understanding of environmental issues, policy formulation and assessment of trade-offs between different environmental concerns. Here, we systematize published footprint studies and define a family of footprints that can be used for the assessment of environmental sustainability. We identify overlaps between different footprints and analyse how they relate to the nine planetary boundaries and visualize the crucial information they provide for local and planetary sustainability. In addition, we assess how the footprint family delivers on measuring progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), considering its ability to quantify environmental pressures along the supply chain and relating them to the water-energy-food-ecosystem (WEFE) nexus and ecosystem services. We argue that the footprint family is a flexible framework where particular members can be included or excluded according to the context or area of concern. Our paper is based upon a recent workshop bringing together global leading experts on existing environmental footprint indicators.},

	abstract = {Nitrogen is a crucial input to food production and yet its oversupply in many parts of the world contributes to a number of environmental problems. Most policies dedicated to reducing agricultural nitrogen pollution focus on changing farmer behaviour. However, farm-level policies are challenging to implement and farmers are just one of several actors in the agri-food chain. The activities of other actors {\textemdash} from fertilizer manufacturers to wastewater treatment companies {\textemdash} can also impact nitrogen losses at the farm level and beyond. Consequently, policymakers have a broader range of policy options than traditionally thought to address nitrogen pollution from field to fork. Inspired by the concept of full-chain nitrogen use efficiency, this Perspective introduces the major actors common in agri-food chains from a nitrogen standpoint, identifies nitrogen policies that could be targeted towards them and proposes several new criteria to guide ex-ante analysis of the feasibility and design of different policy interventions. Sustainably feeding ten billion people by 2050 will require fundamental changes in the global food system {\textemdash} a broad portfolio of policy options and a framework for how to select them is essential.},

	abstract = {The anthropogenic nitrogen cycle is characterized by a high complexity. Different reactive nitrogen species (NH3, NH4+, NO, NO2, NO3-, and N2O) are set free by a large variety of anthropogenic activities and cause numerous negative impacts on the environment. The complex nature of the nitrogen cycle hampers public awareness of the nitrogen problem. To overcome this issue and to enhance the sensitivity for policy action, we developed a new, impact-based integrated national target for nitrogen (INTN) for Germany. It is based on six impact indicators, for which we derived the maximum amount of nitrogen losses allowed in each environmental sector to reach related state indicators on a spatial average for Germany. The resulting target sets a limit of nitrogen emissions in Germany of 1053 Gg N yr-1. It could serve as a similar means on the national level as the planetary boundary for reactive nitrogen or the 1.5 {\textopenbullet}C target of the climate community on the global level. Taking related uncertainties into account, the resulting integrated nitrogen target of 1053 Gg N yr-1 suggests a comprehensible INTN of 1000 Gg N yr-1 for Germany. Compared to the current situation, the overall annual loss of reactive nitrogen in Germany would have to be reduced by approximately one-third.},

	abstract = {Emissions of reactive nitrogen give rise to a wide range of environmental problems. In order to develop reduction measures it is necessary to quantify sources, sinks and flows of Nr, and as part of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLTRAP) it was agreed in the Gothenburg Protocol to construct national nitrogen budgets. The {\textquotedblleft}Guidance document on national nitrogen budgets{\textquotedblright} of the Economic Commission for Europe forms the starting point for this task. The Nr flows are determined for the following pools: {\textquotedblleft}Atmosphere{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Energy and Fuels{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Material and products in industry{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Humans and settlements{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Agriculture{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Forest and semi-natural vegetation{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Waste{\textquotedblright}, and {\textquotedblleft}Hydrosphere{\textquotedblright}, as well as for the {\textquotedblleft}Trans-boundary N-flows{\textquotedblright} (imports and exports). The N-flows are taken directly from statistical reports, publications, etc., or are calculated as the product of the quantity of transported or converted substance and the mean nitrogen contents. Some 150 N-flows are described, and the uncertainty of the results is graded in four levels from {\textquotedblleft}very low{\textquotedblright} to {\textquotedblleft}high{\textquotedblright}. In Germany, approximately 6275 kt Nr is introduced into the nitrogen cycle every year (mean value from 2010 to 2014), of 43 \% is by ammonia synthesis. Domestic extraction of nitrogenous fossil fuels (lignite, coal, crude oil) and imports contribute 2335 kt N a-1. Natural nitrogen fixation converts 308 kt N a-1 into organically bound nitrogen. Conversely, processes involving the combustion of fossil fuels and regenerative fuels and the refining of crude oil to mineral oil products result in 2711 kt N a-1 being transformed to N2. In waters, soils, and wastewater treatment plants, denitrification leads to the release of 1107 kt N a-1 as molecular nitrogen. Via the atmosphere and hydrosphere, Germany exports 745 kt N a-1 to neighbouring countries and the coastal waters. The changes in N-stock in soils have to date only been determined for forest soils, where they are 293 kt N a-1. On balance, reactive nitrogen totalling 1627 kt N is released in Germany every year, with negative impacts on the ecosystems and their functions. The national nitrogen budget involves considerable uncertainties, and this should be taken into consideration when interpreting the results.},
