Apes Nitrogen Cycle

The movement of nitrogen within and between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere.

​Nitrogen Cycle

​First step of nitrogen Cycle

Step 1- Nitrogen Fixation- Special bacteria convert the nitrogen gas (N2 ) to ammonia (NH3) which the plants can use.

2 Step of nitrogen cycle

Step 2- Nitrification- Nitrification is the process which converts the ammonia into nitrite ions which the plants can take in as nutrients.

Third step of the Nitrogen Cycle

Step 3: Ammonification: Everything living eventually dies, and the nitrogen a particular organism was using when it croaked is taken to hand by bacteria that turn the nitrogen-rich corpse into ammonium, which can be picked back up by plants and used again.

Last step of Nitrogen Cycle

Denitrification is the process that converts nitrate to nitrogen gas, thus removing bioavailable nitrogen and returning it to the atmosphere.
