The European Nitrogen Assessment Hardback: Sources, Effects and Policy Perspectives - Hardcover

'This volume is an incredible undertaking and sets a gold standard for future regional nitrogen assessments. It has been put together in a very instructive format and the excellent summaries for policy and technical experts will be especially valuable in communicating these important findings to a wide audience.' Dr Cheryl Palm, Columbia University (Chair of the International Nitrogen Initiative)

'Essential reading for all professionals working in the field of nitrogen, this is a truly trans-disciplinary assessment produced by Europe's leading experts. Demonstrating the urgent need for an integrated approach to managing nitrogen that includes the agriculture, transport, waste, consumption and energy sectors, this landmark volume provides a comprehensive economic analysis of adverse impacts of nitrogen and presents an approach that needs to be adopted globally.'
