🔬研究者:Provides a comprehensive framework linking nitrogen management to climate and SDG outcomes, useful for interdisciplinary research.

🏢実務担当者:Offers a menu of mitigation strategies with co-benefits, relevant for agri-food companies seeking to reduce supply chain emissions.

🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for nitrogen governance and financing mechanisms, informing policy design for climate and sustainability targets.

Fertilised cropland systems are the dominant source of reactive nitrogen losses in the global environment, contributing most anthropogenic nitrous oxide emissions and driving agricultural nitrogen surplus to nearly three times the safe planetary boundary for nitrogen. This review advances a nitrogen-centred analytical framework that positions cropland nitrogen management as a greenhouse gas mitigation imperative, a planetary boundary challenge, and a cross-cutting lever for integrated Sustainable Development Goal progress. Unlike prior reviews that treat nitrous oxide emissions, nitrogen use efficiency, or Sustainable Development Goal linkages as separate concerns, this framework demonstrates that reducing reactive nitrogen losses from fertilised cropland is the single intervention space most likely to generate co-benefits across food security, clean water, climate action, life on land, and partnership goals, while helping restore the transgressed nitrogen boundary. The nitrogen cascade from fertilised croplands and associated livestock manure generates sequential damages across climate, water quality, human health, and terrestrial biodiversity that are mapped against their goal implications. Mitigation strategies including precision nitrogen management, nitrification inhibitors, biochar amendment, agroforestry, circular manure management, and emerging bio-technical innovations are evaluated against their co-benefits, adoption constraints, and potential to shift losses toward other nitrogen species. A financing gap of over one trillion dollars annually and the absence of binding global nitrogen governance are identified as the primary barriers to integrated action. Spatially explicit nitrogen redistribution and nitrogen use efficiency improvement are presented as design principles capable of reconciling planetary boundary recovery with food security equity across nitrogen surplus and nitrogen-deficit regions.
