Aim: Form a bi-national centre to test how agricultural nitrogen (N) emissions relate to N inputs. Contacts & AcknowledgementsFor further information contact: pete.smith@abdn.ac.uk or d.mcbey@abdn.ac.uk in the UK, and liuhongbin@caas.cn or juxt@cau.edu.cn in China.N-Circle is one of eight Virtual Joint Centres for research on agricultural nitrogen with China, India or Brazil, supported in the UK by the Newton Fund through the BBSRC. Developing ‘N-circle': a prioritised agenda towards ‘closed-loop' agricultural nitrogen cycling? Expected outcomes and impacts Better understanding of high-level strategies to enhance sustainable N cycling in agricultureEvaluation of the potential for sustainable N cycling, and An agenda to achieve sustainable N cycling in Chinese and European agriculture. We propose that effective synergies in N cycling are feasible, if multiple innovations in molecular, chemical, micro-biological, agronomic and engineering technologies can be integrated and up-scaled into economically viable systems at field, farm and regional scales.

Approach, 2016-2019:Focus on China’s principal farming systemsEstimate N inputs, N transfers & N lossesTest innovations to enhance N recovery throughout the N cycle Test for high-level synergies between component technologies Communicate & exchange knowledge Develop N-Circle quality mark for N efficiency
