Abstract	"100 years ago, the development of the Haber-Bosch process for synthesizing ammonia gave humans the ability to fix nitrogen an on industrial scale and freed societies from constraints associated with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This innovation facilitated increases in the productivity of agricultural land and in the production of explosives; however, it also resulted in significantly more chemically active nitrogen being placed in circulation. Today, flows of nitrogen through human and natura) systems are intimately intertwined. The response to concerns associated with too much nitrogen in circulation suggests that societies are gradually learning to replace bacteria-based limits with human-defined limits. An important part of this effort includes developing processes for producing knowledge essential to that task." (author's abstract).
