| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | the circulation and reutilization of nitrogen in both inorganic and organic places. | 41 sets | |
| 2 | the cycle in which nitrogen gas is changed into forms of nitrogen that plants can use | 34 sets | |
| 3 | the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to the soil, to living organisms, and back to the atmosphere | 21 sets | |
| 4 | the circulation of nitrogen | 18 sets | |
| 5 | the circulation and reutilization of nitrogen in both inorganic and organic phases | 17 sets | |
| 6 | the circulation and reutilization of nitrogen in both inorganic and organic phases. | 12 sets | |
| 7 | nitrogen travels through the air, into the ground, into the plants, consumer eats plants, and then into soil | 8 sets | |
| 8 | the recycling of nitrogen in the environment in which nitrogen goes from a gas, to organic compounds in the soil, to proteins in a plant or nitrates, and then is again released into the atmosphere as a gas. | 6 sets | |

| 13 | the pathway that nitrogen follows within an ecosystem | 3 sets | |
| 14 | the continuous trapping of nitrogen gas into compounds in the soil and its return to the air | 3 sets | |
| 15 | model describing how nitrogen moves from the atmosphere to the soil, to living organisms, and then back to the atmosphere. | 3 sets | |
| 16 | the movement of nitrogen through ecosystems | 3 sets | |
| 17 | cycle in which nitrogen circulates between bacteria, plants, animals and the environment | 3 sets | |
| 18 | process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into compounds for use by plants and animals, eventually returned by decay | 3 sets | |

| 29 | the process in which nitrogen circulates among air, soil, water, plants, and animals in an ecosystem | 2 sets | |
| 30 | process in which nitrogen is cycled between the atmosphere, bacteria, and other organisms | 2 sets | |
| 31 | a continuous series of natural processes by which nitrogen passes from air to soil to living things and back to the air by means of nitrogen fixation, nitrification, decay, and denitrification | 2 sets | |
