However Smith et al. (1994) did not measure ammonium-N concentrations, and leaching losses may have been underestimated as ammonium-N leaching may occur following fertiliser application on sands (Thomas and Mead 1992).
In the study of Davis et al. (2012), factors that seemed to predispose sites to nitrate-N leaching following fertiliser application were a recent pasture history, the presence of a high component of Ulex europeus in the understorey, and/or a low soil C/N ratio.

Nitrification inhibitors may also be of limited use at other forest sites found to be prone to N leaching following experimental fertiliser application (forests planted on fertile pasture land or with a high shrub legume content) as, in practice, fertilisation of such sites is unlikely to be economically feasible.
The following P fertilisers were added in the experiment: no P fertiliser (P0), TSP, superphosphate (SP), sewage sludge (SS), sewage sludge ash (SSA), Thomas phosphate (Thph), P-enriched LD slag (LDS/SSA).
The following P fertilisers were added in the experiments: no P fertiliser (Control), triple superphosphate (TSP), superphosphate (SP), Thomas phosphate (Thph), sewage sludge (SS), sewage sludge ash (SSA), compost of sewage sludge and garden/park waste (Comp), P-enriched steelmaking slag (LDS/SSA), fibre fraction of pig manure (FFPM), K2HPO4 (DKP), straw ash and wood ash.
It is worth noting that P2O5 and K2O fertiliser have lower global warming potential in comparison to N fertiliser: following the RB209 guidelines, the MEETA model assumes that only non-N nutrients are affected by straw removal.
The objective of this study was to assess the yield response of alfalfa stands of different ages following N and P fertiliser application in relation to water use in the semiarid region of the Loess Plateau.
Better intentions made little difference: virtually all farmers said they planned to use fertiliser the following season, but only 37% actually did so.The reason for this gap between intent and action, the economists argue, is that many farmers are present-biased and procrastinate repeatedly.
Crop uptake data and desorption experiments in the laboratory indicated that liming enhanced the solubility of P added with fertiliser in the decades following the application of lime.
At each site, a factorial design was applied with the following three factors: species (Pinus radiata and Cupressus lusitanica), fertiliser (no fertiliser and nutrients supplied in excess of crop demands) and disturbance (low and high disturbances).
Micrometeorological measurement techniques are regarded as standard methods for determining ammonia emissions following the field application of mineral fertilisers and animal slurries.
