Waterlogging and Nitrogen Loss: Factsheet Aequator Groen+Ruimte
Waterlogged soils impair crop growth, reduce biological activity, and increase nitrogen loss through denitrification, leading to greenhouse gas emissions and structural degradation.
or
Detail description
Waterlogged soils impair crop growth, reduce biological activity, and increase nitrogen loss through denitrification, releasing N2 and N2O. Excess water causes compaction, structural breakdown, and root death, especially in loamy or sandy soils. Proper drainage maintains soil structure and nitrogen efficiency. Part of the 'Better Nitrogen Use and Soil Quality' project by Kringlooppolder.nl, supported by SABE.
