Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

The nitrogen cycle steps are kind of like a currency exchange, converting nitrogen into different forms, some of which plants ...

This is when bacteria in the soil convert the nitrate back into nitrogen gas which then gets released back into the atmosphere.

Carbon cycle–climate feedbacks are expected to diminish the size of the terrestrial carbon sink over the next century. Model simulations suggest that nitrogen availability is likely to play a ...

Nitrogen gas makes up 78% of Earth’s atmosphere and is an essential component in amino acids and proteins. However, plants and animals cannot use nitrogen gas directly. Nitrates and other ...

This document helps agricultural producers understand how N interacts in the environment through the N cycle to guide maintenance and sustainability of agricultural crop production. The Nitrogen Cycle ...

Research projects have addressed specific resource limitations to primary production in alpine communities, the role of competition and facilitation in community composition, the influence of ...

which pays out large amounts in fertilizer subsidies. It should also decrease N 2 O gas emissions and nitrate leaching from agricultural land, creating a healthier global nitrogen cycle.
