N2Nitrogen gas
NO3-1nitrate
NO2-1nitrite
NH3ammonia
NH4+1ammonium
N2Onitrous oxide (gas)
nitrogen fixationwhen N2 is converted to NO3-1, NH3
de-nitrigicationbacteria in soil/water strip oxygen off NO3-1 and convert it back to N2 (atmospheric nitrogen)
leachingsurface run off dissolving the soil materials as a chemical weathering process and it transports the material downward
ammonificationdecomposition releases NO3-1 to the soil
nitrificationNH3 in toxic to life so bacteria converts it to NO2-1 NO3-1 so its not toxic to us.
