Features: The key issues in developing dryland agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions are to reduce ineffective losses while improving the utilization efficiency of water and fertilizer resources. Comprehensive research on the physiological and ecological mechanisms of crop nitrogen and their regulatory theories holds significant importance in current and future research in dryland agriculture, plant physiology, agricultural water management, and other disciplines. It also carries substantial practical significance in addressing agricultural challenges in China. Targeting the agricultural production conditions of the semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau and combining relevant research on crop water and nitrogen nutrition physiology, this book comprehensively discusses the physiological and ecological aspects of nitrogen in dryland crops from multiple perspectives. It provides valuable references for the efficient utilization of dryland water and soil resources and the sustainable development of agriculture, making it suitable for reference by scientific and technical personnel in soil science, plant nutrition, resource and environmental science, plant physiology and biochemistry, plant ecology, horticulture, and agronomy, as well as university teachers and students.
