Your answer is invalid, because the plants return the nitrogen back in to the air. I think what you're trying to ask is what forms of nitrogen is taken by the plants. The answer is nitrides, and nitrates. Nitrides are formed by decomposers in the soil and further nitrogen fixation causes nitrides into nitrates. You can notice this through their equation: nitrides (n3) nitrates (no3).

1. lightning makes nitrates from nitrogen and oxygen in the air. the nitrates then get washed into the soil by rain. 2. animal and plants decompose- depositing organic nitrogen into the soil
nitrogen cycle
Nitrates and Oxygen
Nitrogen compounds known as Nitrates found in the soil
nitrates!!
Denitrifiaction is the reduction of nitrates into gaseous nitrogen which escapes from soil into atmosphere.

Decomposition.
Rhizobium bacteria absorb nitrogen gas from atmosphere and convert it into nitrogenous compounds called nitrates. the roots decompose the nitrates present in the root nodules mix with the soil enrich it with the nitrogenous compounds and hence increase the soil fertility.
When organisms die, decomposers return nitrogen to the soil as ammonia. The ammonia may be taken up again by producers. Other soil bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas in a process called denitrifrication. this process releases nitrogen into the atmosphere once again.

Soil nitrates are replaced in various ways. One of the most common ways to replace soil nitrate is by suing synthetic fertilizers.

They absorb them from the soil where they grow.
