Amending soils of different pH to decrease phosphorus losses
Peer-reviewed experiment testing soil amendments across a range of pH levels to bind phosphorus in place, offering cost-effective options to cut nutrient losses from farmed soils.
Potential phosphorus losses from grassland soils irrigated with dairy factory wastewater
Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems
by Lizarralde, C. A.; McDowell, R. W.; Condron, L. M.; Brown, J. N.
2021
Peer-reviewed assessment of the main pathways by which phosphorus escapes effluent-irrigated grassland, helping define safe application rates for dairy processing wastewater.

EMAG - National model for evaluating environmental impacts of cattle production systems in Uruguay
by Becoña, G.; Ledgard, S.; Astigarraga, L.; Lizarralde, C.; Dieguez, F.; Morales, H.
2020
Presents EMAG, a national tool to simulate the environmental performance of cattle systems — letting farmers and technicians see where emissions and nutrient losses come from and how to reduce them.
