RE: mastodon.social/@glynmoody/116

At the beginning of the previous century, looked like a limit to human growth, it was required for plant growth.
Chemical fixation of N2 solved that (now we are running up against ).
is a key component in that .
But we would like it in the , not the .

If fertiliser is ~45% of corn’s direct costs, timing is money. Upside Robotics says its rover can cut nitrogen use by up to 70% via micro-dosing. The catch: throughput, uptime, and yield risk.

New publication: Multispecies #grasslands produce more #yield from lower #nitrogen inputs across a #climatic gradient.
doi.org/10.1126/science.ady0764

Figure 1 O'Malley (2026): Yields varied substantially across the LegacyNet sites.
(A) The locations of the 26 LegacyNet sites, indicated by inverted yellow triangles (see data S1 for the site location details and ID codes). (B) The yield per growing season (t ha−1) based on plot-level measurements for each site are shown in boxplots that are grouped by mixtures (blue; 29 plots per site) and monocultures (gray; 18 plots per site), at the moderate nitrogen fertilizer level. The average yield of the six-species equiproportional mixture plots (three plots per site) is shown as a magenta triangle. The average yield of the monoculture plots from each functional group is highlighted with a circle (green for grass, orange for legume, and light blue for herb; six monoculture plots per functional group per site). The average yield of the high N grass monoculture (five plots per site) is shown by a red horizontal line. Sites are arranged on the x axis in order of decreasing median yield. The center line represents the median, box limits are upper and lower quartiles, and whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum of nonoutlier values.

For #life to develop on a #planet, certain chemical elements are needed in sufficient quantities.

#Phosphorus is vital for the formation of DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic information, and for the energy balance of cells.

#Nitrogen is an essential component of proteins, which are needed for the formation, structure, and function of cells.

Without these two elements, no life can develop out of lifeless matter but there are also more profound consequences.

During the formation of a #planet's core, there needs to be exactly the right amount of oxygen present so that phosphorus and nitrogen can remain on the surface of the planet.

This was exactly the case with Earth around 4.6 billion years ago—a stroke of chemical good fortune in the #universe.

When #planets form, they initially develop out of molten rock.

A sorting process occurs during this time: heavy metals such as iron sink down and form the core, while lighter metals form the mantle and the crust.

If there is too little #oxygen present during the formation of the core, phosphorus will fuse with heavy metals such as iron and move to the core.

This element is then no longer available for the development of life.

On the other hand, too much oxygen present during core formation leads to phosphorus remaining in the mantle and #nitrogen being more likely to escape into the #atmosphere, ultimately being lost.

🦨 Do-it-yourself ammonia production: Renewable-powered system uses calcium to reduce emissions and scale for farmers

"#Agricultural runoff provides perfect nutrients for #methanogen growth.

#Fertilizer and animal waste washing into ocean systems creates nutrient-rich zones where these methanogens thrive like never before. #Nitrogen and #phosphorus pollution from farmland creates ideal conditions for explosive #microbial growth in #coastal waters and #DeepOcean areas. These agricultural inputs essentially act as fertilizer for #methane-producing microbes, creating a connection between #IndustrialFarming and atmospheric #GreenhouseGas levels that scientists never fully appreciated.

"Coastal regions near major agricultural areas show the highest concentrations of these supercharged methanogens, with some areas recording methane production levels ten times higher than baseline measurements. The problem compounds itself because areas with intensive farming also tend to have the strongest ocean currents, meaning these fertilized methanogen populations get distributed globally. Every season’s #AgriculturalRunoff creates new opportunities for these microbes to establish thriving colonies in previously stable ocean environments."

Noch ein Grund mehr, um nicht zu zahlen:

Bei der #Nitrogen-#Ransomware gibt es offenbar einen #Bug, der Lösegeldzahlungen faktisch sinnlos macht, weil sich die verschlüsselten Daten am Ende nicht mehr entschlüsseln lassen. Der Kern des Problems: Auf kompromittierten Systemen erzeugt Nitrogen zunächst gültige Schlüsselpaare, aber der für die Verschlüsselung genutzte Public Key wird teilweise überschrieben und ist damit unbrauchbar für die Entschlüsselung:
