Acidification of croplands by nitrogen fertilization …

acidification is an ongoing problem in intensively cultivated croplands due to inefficient and excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization. We collected high-resolution data comprising 19,969 topsoil (0–20 cm) samples from the Land Use and Coverage Area frame Survey (LUCAS) of the commission in 2009 to assess the impact of N fertilization on buffering substances such as carbonates and ...
