A Framework for Action: Lessons from the California Nitrogen Assessment

This speaker will report on the results of the California Nitrogen Assessment. He will differentiate between what is scientifically well known and what is more uncertain about the causes and effects of the flows of reactive nitrogen into, out of, and within California. He will also outline a suite of practical and policy options that counterbalance the benefits of reactive nitrogen with its costs for California, the most agriculturally productive, biologically diverse, and populated state in the U.S.A.
