Environmental considerations

CRF has the potential to decrease nitrogenous pollution, which leads to eutrophication. The efficient use of nitrogen-base fertilizers is also relevant to the emission of N
₂O into the atmosphere each year, of which 36% is due to human activity. The anthropogenic N
₂O is produced by microorganisms acting on ammonia faster than the plant can uptake this nutrient.
