Abstract
Nitrogen (N) fertilization has boosted grain production during the past century, while excess N fertilization with declining N use efficiency (NUE) has led to severe pollution in many regions. To achieve the goal of sustainable food production, Technologies and Management Practices (TMPs, e.g., optimum N application rate and methods, N-transformation inhibitors) have been developed to improve crop yield and NUE and to reduce N losses. However, it remains unclear how N fate has been changed by environmental factors and TMPs. Here, we compiled a dataset of 366 field 15N tracer observations from 74 publications worldwide and conducted a meta-analysis to examine how environmental conditions and ..
