What is Understanding the Nitrogen Cycle about?
The document discusses the nitrogen cycle. It describes the 5 main stages: 1) Nitrogen fixation converts atmospheric nitrogen to a form usable by plants through bacteria. 2) Mineralization converts organic nitrogen in soils to inorganic forms through microbes. 3) Nitrification converts ammonia to nitrites and nitrites to nitrates. 4) Immobilization is when microbes take up nitrogen, making it unavailable to plants. 5) Denitrification converts nitrates back to atmospheric nitrogen by microorganisms.
