Global Nitrogen Enrichment (GANE)
Results from the Global Nitrogen Enrichment programme
The Global Nitrogen Enrichment programme involved over 130 scientists working in multi-disciplinary teams from many institutions, in the UK and abroad.
In February 2005, the programme held an event to showcase its results. The research is relevant to a wide audience, including central and local government, conservation agencies, biological research, agriculture and industry.
