Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in nodules on plant roots (legume plants; beans, peas, alfalfa) convert nitrogen in the air (ammonia) to nitrites then nitrates which is then absorbed by plants through their roots.

How do you add organic nitrogen?
There are nitrogen fixing plants, such as legumes, that will add nitrogen to the soil naturally. When these plants die, they release nitrogen into the soil, making it available for other plants.
What are the different ways by nitrogen in the air reaches the soil?
Nitrogen can enter the soil from plants such as legumes which fix nitrogen in their roots. Also dead plants and animals add nitrogen into the soil.
Nitrogen in the soil is used by what?
nitrogen in the soil is used by both plants and animals.
Do plants receive nitrogen from the soil?
Yes nitrogen in the bound form is received by plants from the soil through roots.
Where does plants get nitrogen?
when animals eat plants,they get nitrogen compounds that their bodies need.plants do not make these nitrogen compounds. so from where do plants get their nitrogen compounds/ from the air
When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?
Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.
How do plants get nitrogen?
by absorbing it from the soil
How do plants nitrogen?
by absorbing it from the soil
Which element found in the soil is used by plants in the form of chemical compounds?
Nitrogen is needed by plants and they get it from the soil in compounds that contain the nitrogen.
Can nitrogen in soil be used by plants or animals?
Nitrogen is everywhere But somehow, nitrogen has to get from the atmosphere into a form that our body can use.I also think that nitrogen in soil can be used by plants not animals
Do plants absorb nitrogen from soil and water?
Just soil
Why is nitrogen important in healthy soil?
Plants use nitrogen in the form of nitrates. Nitrogen is essential in a healthy soil because plants use it in the form of an important nutrient.
