Breakthrough on nitrogen generation by researchers to impact climate-change research

Currently the world’s nitrogen cycle is unbalanced because humans are now responsible for adding more fixed nitrogen through ammonium to the environment than natural sources, said researcher Lisa Stein of the University of Alberta. Excess ammonium has implications on the climate and environment, from dead zones in oceans to a greenhouse gas effect 300 times that of carbon dioxide on a molecule to molecule basis.  http://edmontonjournal.com/technology/science/u-of-a-researchers-make-discovery-that-has-impact-on-climate-change-research
