Nitrogen cycle in the soil

nitrogen cycle  When an animal eats the plant, the nitrogen-containing compounds in the plant move to the animal When that animal gets eaten, nitrogen moves to its predator, Nitrogen changes forms throughout the process and from the atmosphere to the soil to organisms and back again There are five stages of the nitrogen cycle

nitrogen lossgain and methane release Benthic nitrogen fixation While biogenic reworking of sediment is known to enhance the Nitrogen Cycle 287  Nitrogen cycles through both the abiotic and biotic parts of the Earth system The largest reservoir of nitrogen is found in the atmosphere, mostly as nitrogen

During the cycle, certain bacteria 'fix' atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which plants need in order to grow Other bacteria convert the 1 Nitrogen-fixing microbes like bacteria and blue-green algae convert nitrogen into inorganic nitrogen compounds This is called nitrogen
