Nitrogen Assessment: Pakistan as a Case-Study provides a detailed
overview of issues and challenges related to nitrogen use and
overuse, thus serving as a reference for researchers in Pakistan
and providing important insights for other geographic regions.
Excess and inefficient nitrogen use in crops and livestock sectors
is polluting our rivers, seas, atmosphere, and ecosystems,
contributing to climate change, hampering biodiversity, and
contributing to stratospheric ozone depletion. This book covers the
importance of nitrogen in relation to food security, human health,
and economic stability in South Asia. It also discusses nitrogen
status, sources, sinks, and drivers of nitrogen use in Pakistan,
focusing on current nitrogen measures and policies. Nitrogen
pollution is one of the biggest challenges of 21st Century, and the
international scientific community is beginning to recognize the
significance of nitrogen pollution and to explore how to combat it.
The editors' institution, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad,
partners with South Asia Nitrogen Hub, which includes about 30
organizations from South Asia and UK working on nitrogen
assessment, budgeting, awareness, and policy guidance, as well as
possible measures to reduce nitrogen pollution. Nitrogen
Assessment: Pakistan as a Case-Study provides an important guide to
this work and is written in a way that is accessible to an audience
with a wide range of experience from advanced students to seasoned
researchers.
