An Adiabatic-Expansion-Induced Perturbation Study on Gas–Aerosol Partitioning in Ambient Air—Formation of NH₄NO₃ and Microdroplet Nitrogen Fixation (2) by Yating Gao, Qinchu Fan, Yujiao Zhu, Hengqing Shen, Qi Yuan, Yang Gao, Huiwang Gao, Xiaohong Yao

“…Our results indicate the adiabatic-expansion-induced generation of NH₃ + HNO₃ at ultrafast formation rates, with campaign-dependent stable stoichiometric ratios of HNO₃ to NH₃, as well as highly variable occurrence frequencies and efficiencies. These findings suggest that microdroplet redox reactions are more likely responsible for the generation of NH₃ + HNO₃ than conventional atmospheric NH₃ chemistry. …”

Experiments in globalisation, food security and land use decision making. by Calum Brown, Dave Murray-Rust, Jasper van Vliet, Shah Jamal Alam, Peter H Verburg, Mark D Rounsevell

“…Both outcomes are subject to the responses of individual land managers to economic and environmental stimuli, and these responses are known to be variable and often (economically) irrational. We investigate the consequences of stylised food security policies and globalisation of agricultural markets on land use patterns under a variety of modelled forms of land manager behaviour, including variation in production levels, tenacity, land use intensity and multi-functionality. …”
