How can there be a shortage of nitrogen in some soil?
because the soil holds onto it more by the nutrients in the soil
What are the advantages of adding fertilizer to soil that lacks nitrogen?
The fact that nitrogen will be added to the nitrogen deficient soil is the advantage of adding fertilizer. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the major nutrients that plants and soils need. Commercial, conventional, standard, synthetic fertilizers also are called NPK fertilizers. The initials come from the first letters of the scientific names for precisely these three nutrients. Additionally, nitrogen is present in such organic fertilizers as compost. So whether by the inorganic or the organic route, the soil gets nitrogen when it gets a fertilizer treatment.
Is liquid nitrogen flamable?
no. In some situations nitrogen is used to put out fires.
Is nitrogen dioxide a metal?
nitrogen dioxide is nonmetal. it is a gas which has some what heavier than air
What fertilizer consists of?
Simple plant fertilizers combine N, P and K; nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. These are the elements most needed by plants. There are many more elements needed and more complex fertilizers are available for this. In particular, some soils are deficient in 'trace elements' such as selenium, but these tend to be of local importance.
If nearly 79 percent of the atmosphere in nitrogen How could there be a shortage in some soils?

How do some plants that live in low-nitrogen soils get nitrogen?
The plants eat insects and other small animals.
The nitrogen content of some agricultural soils may be improved by?
water ferns with symbiotic cyanobacteria, or other plants with nitrogen-fixing bacteria

What does nutrient poor soils mean?
Without enough nitrogen, and minerals such as phosphorus and potassium, plants cannot create the molecules they need to grow and function. Soils without these elements (and others) have to be fertilized to grow crops. Growing certain crops can also restore at least some of the nitrogen. Some plants have adapted to nutrient-poor soils, such as the Venus flytrap, which gets organic material from insects it traps.
How do you improve crops using isotopes?
The isotope nitrogen-15 was used for the study of nitrogen dynamics in soils and plants.
What element is found in most soils and is essential for plant growth?
nitrogen
