Absorbed by plants that need it or is washed into a nearby stream, not that that's good.

∙ 11y agoUnder natural conditions, nitrogen oxides enter the atmosphere primarily as a result of lightning, which supplies enough energy to cause nitrogen and oxygen in the natural atmosphere to combine chemically. In modern urban areas, however, exhaust gases from vehicles powered by internal combustion engines are the primary source.

∙ 13y agoNitrogen can leave the atmosphere in several ways.
By far the coolest is deposition through lightning strikes! Although less cool, nitrogen is "fixed" (converted from atmospheric nitrogen "N2" into other forms by vegetation. Legumes are plants that have sacks of bacteria in their roots that are responsible for the nitrogen fixing process.

What is the limiting nutrient of most ecosystems?
Phosphorus or Nitrogen
Is water nitrogen carbon and oxygen recycled in ecosystems?
yes
What are two major ways in which nitrogen is fixed in ecosystems?
Two major ways whereby nitrogen is fixed in ecosystems are through rainfall and through leguminous crops.
Why must matter be recycled through ecosystems?
The answer: the carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle
How does the water cycle the nitrogen cycle and the carbon cycle work to make an ecosystem sustainable?
Water Cycle - is the movement of water through Earth's ecosystems. Nitrogen Cycle - is the movement of nitrogen through ecosystems Carbon Cycle - is the flow of carbon as a solid, liquid, or gas through Earth's ecosystems Without all these three we will die and life won't be sustainable.

Is water nitrogen carbon and oxygen recycled in ecosystems?
yes
How is nitrogen important in our lives?
nitrogen moves through living and non-living ecosystems
How nitrogen cycles through the land and the ocean ecosystem?
explain how nitrogen cycles through the land and ocean ecosystems

How is nitrogen dioxide removed from the atmosphere?
it is removed through lightning
What are three important cycles in ecosystems?
The Nitrogen Cycle, The Carbon Cycle,and The Water Cycle
How do nitrogen fixing bacteria help cycle nitrogen through ecosystem?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria help cycle nitrogen through the ecosystems in a variety of ways. With plants, the nitrogen-fixing bacteria help ensure that nitrogen is cycled back into the soil.
What is nitrogen's limiting nutrient?
In Ecology, limiting nutrients are compounds that affect growth or success of a population. One such nutrient, found in marine ecosystems, is nitrogen. Nitrogen IS the limiting nutrient - it does not have one.
During one part of the nitrogen cycle nitrogen is removed from the air by mainly by nitrogen-fixing?
bacteria
