The ways humans release nitrogen into environment include:
The amount of available nitrogen in an environment is a main contributor to the amount of productivity in an environment. So the amount of nitrogen dramatically increases then the environment will become unstable.
Human activity has doubled the amount of global nitrogen fixation in our atmosphere.
The addition to nitrogen in terrestrial ecosystems can cause:
Marine systems:
When nitrogen increases carbon storage can change, so it can affect other cycles.
Humans increase in the nitrogen they put in the atmosphere causes an increase in harmful algae booms and decreases in fish.
Agricultural and industrial nitrogen humans create exceeds the natural amount of nitrogen the world creates. This has made the nitrogen cycle change over the past century.
Humans let off one third of all nitrogen emissions.
- Nitrogen based fertilizer
- Burning fossil fuels

Human activity has doubled the amount of global nitrogen fixation in our atmosphere.
The addition to nitrogen in terrestrial ecosystems can cause:
- Nutrient imbalance in trees
- Change in forest health
- Declines in biodiversity
Marine systems:
- A decrease in oxygen levels
- Alters biodiversity
- Changes in food webs
- Habitat degradation
