- 環境科学
- 気候科学
- 大気化学
背景:
- 人類の活動により,工業化以前の時代から地球システムにおける活性窒素 (Nr) が著しく増加した.
- 増加したNrは,地球温暖化と大気汚染に寄与し,地球温暖化への影響は複雑で,まだ完全に理解されていません.
研究 の 目的:
- 人為的な反応性窒素 (Nr) の負荷による気候の純効果を定量化する.
- 異なる排出シナリオの下でNrの将来の気候影響を予測する.
主な方法:
- 人為的なNrからの放射的強制を評価するために,気候モデリングを利用した.
- エアロゾルの負荷,メタンの寿命,地上の炭素収縮,酸化窒素,オゾンに対する影響が分析された.
- 将来の予測のために3つの代表的なシナリオを使用しました.
主要な成果:
- 人為的なNrは,2019年に (-0.34 W m−2) の純負の直接放射力をもたらした (1850年と比較して).
- この冷却は,エアロゾールの増加,メタンの寿命の短縮,そしてN2Oとオゾンによる温暖化を上回る炭素の蓄積によって引き起こされます.
- 将来のNr減少は,この冷却効果を弱め,N2Oによる温暖化が増加する可能性が高い.

01:50Global Climate Change
24.3K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

01:49The Nitrogen Cycle
51.9K
Nitrogen atoms, present in all proteins and DNA, are recycled between abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. However, the primary form of nitrogen on Earth is nitrogen gas, which cannot be used by most animals and plants. Thus, nitrogen gas must first be converted into a usable form by nitrogen-fixing bacteria before it can be cycled through other living organisms. The use of nitrogen-containing fertilizers and animal waste products in human agriculture has greatly influenced the...

01:20Overview of Nitrogen Metabolism
7.9K
Nitrogen is a very important element for life because it is a major constituent of proteins and nucleic acids. It is a macronutrient, and in nature, it is recycled from organic compounds and stored in the form of ammonia, ammonium ions, nitrate, nitrite, or nitrogen gas by many metabolic processes. Many of these metabolic processes are carried out only by prokaryotes.

01:14The Carbon Cycle
37.2K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

4.1K
Secondary amines react with nitrous acid to form N-nitrosamines, as depicted in Figure 1. Nitrous acid, a weak and unstable acid, is formed in situ from an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite and strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, in cold conditions. In the presence of an acid, the nitrous acid gets protonated. The subsequent loss of water results in the formation of the electrophile known as nitrosonium ion.

18.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.
