The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines soil health as the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans, and healthy soil gives us clean air and water. Nitrogen is indispensable to support life on earth, including for food production, but it also causes environmental problems such as global warming and groundwater pollution. This book brings together novel aspects of soil nitrogen research that solve these problems, with a particular focus on soil health in intensive agricultural systems. The two main sections are: 1) Monitoring and understanding of soil nitrogen transformations to maintain soil health, and 2) Soil nitrogen management for soil health. Included topics are regulation of key nitrogen loads and processes such as nitrous oxide emissions, nitrate leaching, ammonia volatilization, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, mineralization, their relationships with the soil microbial biomass, and impact of soil management practices for enhanced soil health and sustainability. This book includes selected papers presented at the symposium Nitrogen Cycling and Soil Health at the 2022 World Congress of Soil Science, which took place in Glasgow, U.K.

Elizabeth M. Baggs is Dean of Research for the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, and Professor of Food and Environmental Security at the University of Edinburgh. She has previously served as a president of the British Society of Soil Science and is a fellow of the Institute of Soil Science. Her expertise covers soil biogeochemistry, plant-soil interactions and environmental change, in managed and natural systems. Specific focus is on soil carbon and greenhouse gas emissions to inform appropriate management strategies. She has led numerous international research collaborations, and has held a variety of strategic leadership roles.
Introduction: Nitrate, Nitrous Oxide, and Ammonia Loss Mitigation with Optimum Rate of Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizer and Application Timing in Corn.- Nitrate, Nitrous Oxide, and Ammonia Loss Mitigation with Optimum Rate of Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizer and Application Timing in Corn.- Discovery of previously overlooked microbial drivers of nitrogen fixation in paddy soil, iron-reducing bacteria, and application to low nitrogen input agriculture.- Mesofaunal health matters: Mites reduce fungal N2O emissions from soils under agriculture.- Influence of pH, temperature, moisture and substrate concentration on soil l-glutaminase activity and its kinetic parameters.
