Nitrogen cycle begins like every other cycle in the Biogeochemical cycle.Nitrogen is an unstable gas in it's octet form but the normal Nitrogen is stable so during nitrogenation;which is the formation of free Nitrogen in the atmosphere,nitrogen is being broken down during lightening and thunderstorms so,it becomes free in the atmosphere and can now combine with other compounds.
During rainfall,Nitrogen combines with water to form Nitric acids and with sulphur to form NITROGEN SULPHIDE.These two compounds of Nitrogen are then incorporated into the soil during Nitrogen fixation. The soil alone can not convert this Nitrogen into usable or rather consumable Nitrogen so only root noddles of leguminous plants like Beans can convert this nitrogen into usable one because they have nitrogen fixing bacteria like Rhizobium nigricans . But there are also some free living bacteria in the soil named Azotobacter which help in converting this nitrogen in the soil into usable Nitrogen so that plants can use it for growth.
When these nitrogen compounds have been converted into usable nitrogen,plants now use it to produce food energy which are later on eaten upon by animals for growth.This process is called feeding like we all know.
When these plants and animals die,their dead bodies decay and are embedded into the soil.Micro organisms now eat on these dead bodies.A process called putrefaction.These decomposed matters are later on converted into Ammonia in a process called Amonification by nitrogen fixing bacteria.The same Ammonia is converted into Nitrites and later on into nitrates by Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacters bacteria respectively and some of the nitrates are lost into the underneath soil a process called leaching during erosion by water and the nitrates are also absorbed by plants during food chain a process called Assimilation.The nitrates and nitrites are later sent back into the atmosphere during denitrification which is the reduction of nitrates back into the largely inert nitrogen gas (N2), completing the nitrogen cycle. This process is performed by bacterial species such as Pseudomonas and Clostridium in anaerobic conditions. They use the nitrate as an electron acceptor in the place of oxygen during respiration. These facultatively anaerobic bacteria can also live in aerobic conditions.
Without forgetting that during thunder storms,Nitrogen is also sent back into the atmosphere.
THE NITROGEN CYCLE: a process where organisms die and the nutrients in their body/stem release into the soil then get sucked up/ eaten by other organisms then those organisms die and the nutrients in them release into the soil and so on.
Nitrogen gas present in the atmosphere will be taken by micro biological orgnisms and they convert nitrogen gas into a ammonia and again ammonia will be taken by plants and then animals. by degradation of plants, animals, it again enters into atmosphere.

it's when nitrogen is released into the atmosphere.
Nitrogen cycle is a series of processes through which nitrogen and its forms or compounds are inter-converted in the environment, which involves nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

nitrogen cycle
Bacteria is the organism most critical in the nitrogen cycle. Bacteria in the nitrogen cycle provides different forms of nitrogen compounds used by higher organisms.
Nitrogen cycle
it is not nitrogen cycle
Nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere during the nitrogen cycle. This part of the cycle is called nitrogen fixation.
it is in the nitrogen cycle
Plants transfer nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle through assimilation.
the nitrogen cycle
The first step of the nitrogen cycle is nitrogen fixation.
The first step of the nitrogen cycle is nitrogen fixation.
the nitrogen cycle in cludes gas
Nitrogen cycle is made up of nitrogen gas so when nitrogen gas and oxide compress they make a nitrogen cycle. With the phosphorus cycle it doesn't compress gas it just goes to gas to oxide making phosphorus cycle.
nitrogen fixation, denitrification, nitrification, amonification are the for steps of the nitrogen cycle.
Then cycle that depends on bacteria to convert nitrogen gas into ammonia is the nitrogen cycle. This is the part of the cycle called nitrogen fixation.
The nitrogen cycle is essential to the maintenance of life.

Nitrogen is the main components of the cycle.
