The largest livestock production and greatest fertilizer use in the world occurs China. However, quantification of nutrient flows through manure management chain their interactions with management-related measures is lacking. Herein, we present a detailed analysis losses "feed intake–excretion–housing–storage–treatment–application" chain, while considering differences among systems. We estimated environmental loss from 2010 to be up 78% excreted nitrogen over 50% phosphorus potassium....

Transitions in Chinese agriculture resulted industrial animal production systems, disconnected from crop production. We analyzed side-effects of these transitions on total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and phosphorus (TDP) inputs to rivers. In 2000, when were ongoing, 30%–70% the manure was directly discharged rivers (range for sub-basins). Before transition (1970) this only 5%. Meanwhile, numbers more than doubled. As a result, TDN TDP increased 2- 45-fold sub-basins) during 1970–2000. Direct...

Abstract Most of the global population will live in urban areas 21st century. We study impacts urbanization on future river pollution taking a multi-pollutant approach. quantify combined point-source inputs nutrients, microplastics, chemical (triclosan) and pathogen ( Cryptosporidium ) to 10,226 rivers 2010, 2050 2100, show how pollutants are related. Our scenarios consider socio-economic developments varying rates wastewater treatment. Today, Europe, South-East Asia North America is severe....

<p>The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate change. This perilous change in the Earth's caused by increases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases atmosphere, primarily emissions associated with burning fossil fuels. Over next two three decades, effects change, such as heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, storms, floods, are expected worsen, posing greater risks human health global stability. These trends call for implementation...

China's pig production has increased manifold in the past 50 years, and this greatly affected nitrogen phosphorus use losses sector. However, magnitude of these changes are not well-known. Here, we provide an in-depth account production--N P total N whole chain during period 1960-2010--through simulation modeling using data from national statistics farm surveys. For 2010-2030, explored possible effects technological managerial measures aimed at improving performances via scenario analysis....

Chinese agriculture has been developing fast towards industrial food production systems that discharge nutrient-rich wastewater into rivers. As a result, nutrient export by rivers increasing, resulting in coastal water pollution. We developed Model to Assess River Inputs of Nutrients seAs (MARINA) for China. The MARINA Nutrient quantifies river nutrients source at the sub-basin scale as function human activities on land. is downscaled version China Global NEWS-2 (Nutrient Export from...

Chinese surface waters are severely polluted by nutrients. This study addresses three challenges in nutrient modeling for rivers China: (1) difficulties transferring results across biophysical and administrative scales, (2) poor representation of the locations point sources, (3) limited incorporation direct discharge manure to rivers. The objective this is, therefore, quantify inputs nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) from different sources at multiple scales. We developed a novel multi-scale...

Reducing ammonia (NH3) volatilization from croplands while satisfying the food demand is strategically required to mitigate haze pollution. However, global pattern of NH3 remains uncertain, primarily because episodic nature rates and high variation fertilization practices. Here, we improve a estimate crop-specific emissions at spatial resolution using an updated data-driven model with survey-based dataset scheme. Our globally averaged rate (12.6% ± 2.1%) in line previous studies (13.7 3.1%)...

Abstract Reactive nitrogen (N) is a requisite nutrient for agricultural production, but results in greenhouse gas and air water pollution. The environmental economic impacts of N fertilizer use China are particularly relevant, as consumes the largest amount world to meet its soaring food demand. Here, we an agro-economic land system model (MAgPIE) combination with difference-in-differences econometric provide forward-looking assessment China’s policies terms removing manufacturing subsidies...
