These human activities convert nitrogen from inactive to reactive forms. “Before the Haber-Bosch process and fossil fuel combustion, specialized microbes in the soil could fix nitrogen into forms ...

After more than a decade of research and collaboration, researchers from Michigan Technological University, Baylor University and Boston University have discovered that inland and coastal aquatic ...

At the beginning of the XXᵉ century, two chemists succeeded in fixing nitrogen in the air. Their invention saw the birth of intensive agriculture, gravely disrupting the nitrogen cycle.

The Nitrogen Cycle. We begin our discussion of the N cycle in a typical grain crop rotation (corn, wheat, double-crop soybean) by considering the plant residue left on the field surface after harvest.

Scientists at climate talks say major changes to the nitrogen cycle cannot be ignored Date: December 8, 2009 Source: International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) ...

The nitrogen cycle — which has existed for billions of years — transforms non-biologically useful forms of nitrogen found in the atmosphere into various biologically useful forms that are needed by ...

Living organisms need nitrogen as a central building block for protein formation, for example. However, although our atmosphere contains plenty of nitrogen, neither humans nor the vast majority of ...

Atmospheric nitrogen must first be fixed, or converted to ammonia (NH3) by certain bacteria. Steps of the Nitrogen Cycle Atmospheric nitrogen (N2) is converted to ammonia (NH3) by nitrogen-fixing ...
