The study of soil nitrogen has long been an active field, but it
was generally pivoted on agricultural and forestry production, and
animal husbandry. With the rapid increase in the use of fertilizer
nitrogen, more attention has been paid to the relationship between
nitrogen management and environmental quality and human health. In
addition, the study of soil nitrogen has become more comprehensive
with the development of related sciences. The quantitative study of
the processes of nitrogen cycling and their interrelationships has
been an important part of this project and has attracted the
attention of scientists all over the world. Nitrogen is one of the
most important nutrients for plant growth and the application of
fertilizer nitrogen is playing an important role in agricultural
production. The annual consumption of fertilizer nitrogen in the
world has reached 70 million tons, and China has an annual
consumption of more than 15 million tons and is the largest
fertilizer nitrogen consumer in the world. However, the efficiency
of fertilizer nitrogen is low and losses are large. It is estimated
that nitrogen losses from agriculture in China can be as high as
40-60% of the nitrogen applied. Some of the lost nitrogen enters
the atmosphere and contributes to the greenhouse effect and some
enters water bodies to pollute the water. Consequently, it is
important for scientists all over the world to improve the
efficiency of use of fertilizer nitrogen, to promote the biological
fixation of nitrogen and to increase the nitrogen-supplying
potential of soils.
