“There is without a doubt a #nitrate problem in this community dating back decades. The #ORDEQ recognized the problem when I was in grade school,” Jake Madison, the president of Madison Ranches, said in a statement. “We have been involved in trying to find solutions to this issue for decades, and rather than continue to litigate, we chose to put our resources towards a solution.”

So, the rain we've gotten in Southern #Maine seems pretty clear (not full of ashes), but it does not smell good. No #petrichlor . Maybe an undertone of stale smoke? Not pleasant... Also #AlkalineRain is a thing like #AcidRain. While it would seem to neutralize Acid Rain, it ends up having the opposite effect.

Can Smoke Particles Neutralize or Enhance Acid Rain?

Smoke can neutralize acid if it contains alkaline ash, but often provides surfaces that accelerate acid formation.

"Smoke particles are chemically complex and can either neutralize or enhance the acidity of rain depending on their composition. Some wildfire smoke contains alkaline ash, which can help neutralize acidic gases in the atmosphere, potentially making the resulting rain less corrosive.

"However, many smoke particles also contain #sulfur and #nitrogen compounds that act as precursors to acid formation. Furthermore, the large surface area of fine smoke particles provides a platform for acidic gases to condense and react, which can lead to more concentrated acidic deposition.

The net effect depends on the type of fuel burned and the age of the smoke plume as it moves through the atmosphere."

Improving #manure management can help lower #fertilizer demand, but addressing inefficiencies does not address the structural imbalance of #nitrogen flows in animal production and its dependency on fertiliser imports in the #EU.

#KnowledgeByte: An imbalance in #Nitrogen availability has been reported across the globe, with some places having an excess and others a shortage of the element.

Is availability of Nitrogen at stake? What are the implications for various ecosystems?

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌾🔬 Japanese researchers developed a low power #plasma device that converts habitat #air into nitrate fertilizer for lunar #farming.

#Rice grown in simulated #moon soil treated with this process reached grain forming stages with healthier soil #chemistry. The #innovation may also offer a cleaner alternative for making fertilizer on #Earth.

Well, I suspect the farmers are going to be upset again.
