| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | the circulation and reutilization of nitrogen in both inorganic and organic places. | 42 sets | |
| 2 | the cycle in which nitrogen gas is changed into forms of nitrogen that plants can use | 33 sets | |
| 3 | the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to the soil, to living organisms, and back to the atmosphere | 23 sets | |
| 4 | the circulation of nitrogen | 19 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 | |
| 9 | the cycling of nitrogen between organisms, soil, water, and the atmosphere | 5 sets | |
| 10 | the process in which nitrogen circulates among the air, soil, water, plants, and animals in an ecosystem | 5 sets | |
| 11 | the circulation of nitrogen in nature, bacteria is needed to convert nitrogen for most organisms to use | 4 sets | |
| 12 | the pathway that nitrogen follows within an ecosystem | 4 sets | |
| 13 | the continuous cycle of the transfer of carbon through the atmosphere | 4 sets | |
| 14 | the continuous trapping of nitrogen gas into compounds in the soil and its return to the air | 3 sets | |
| 15 | the movement of nitrogen through ecosystems | 3 sets | |
| 16 | the movement of nitrogen through the environment in a cycle | 3 sets | |
| 17 | process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into compounds for use by plants and animals, eventually returned by decay | 3 sets | |
| 18 | model describing how nitrogen moves from the atmosphere to the soil, to living organisms, and then back to the atmosphere. | 3 sets | |
| 19 | the circulation and reutilization of nitrogen in both inorganic and organic places | 3 sets | |

| 39 | the circulation of nitrogen in nature, consisting of a cycle of chemical reactions in which atmospheric nitrogen is compounded, dissolved in rain, and deposited in the soil | 2 sets | |
| 40 | 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 | |
