1
Q
Nitrogen fixation
A
Nitrogen fixation is the biological process of converting atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3) or ammonium
2
Q
Nitrification
A
a biological process where bacteria convert ammonia (NH3) or ammonium (NH4+) into nitrite (NO2-) and then into nitrate (NO3-)
3
Q
Denitrification
A
This process effectively removes nitrogen from the ecosystem and releases it back into the atmosphere, completing a part of the nitrogen cycle
