DOI: 10.1007/s10340-019-01174-w
Abstract: Nitrogen fertilizers are widely used to maximize crop productivity but are also known to benefit pest insects. Here we show that nitrogen not only increased the egg size of the key pest, brown planthopper (BPH),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-021-04872-6
Abstract: It is known that nitrogen (N) input modulates the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE); however, the magnitude and driving mechanisms of priming under increasing rates of fertilizer application remain unclear. 15N-urea (control, 75 (N75), 150 (N150),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2018.11.033
Abstract: Abstract Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is widely recognized by its ability to respond positively to nitrogen (N) fertilization. Nitrogen often promotes shoot and root growth and, consequently, increase carbon (C) inputs into the soil via above-… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2018.03.007
Abstract: Abstract Phytoextraction field trials with Noccaea caerulescens were conducted in Brussels (Belgium) to investigate the benefits of nitrogen fertilization and planting density on phytoextraction efficiency. Both metallicolous (Ganges) and non-metallicolous (NMET, Luxembourg) populations were grown… read more here.
