It's continuously processed in the nitrogen cycle. In broad outline nitrogen in the atmosphere is fixed by bacteria so that it's available to plants making protein. This protein is consumed by animals and plants or returned to the atmosphere as methane. The plant nitrogen is converted to animal protein which is eventually returned to the atmosphere by bacteria.
