Unsustainability of recommended fertilization rates for coffee monoculture due to high N2O emissions

Industrial fertilization with an excess of mineral fertilizer leads to water pollution and global warming. For instance, high mineral fertilization rates in coffee plantations of Ecuador result in N losses, such as emissions of N2O, a greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. Therefore, we conducted here fi...
