How will the removal of leguminous plants affect the nitrogen cycle?

it affects the nitrogen cycle as the leguminous plants have nitrogen-fixing bacteria on their roots and these nitrogen-fixing bacteria help to collect nitrogen which is transferred to animals when these leguminous plants have been eaten.

How do you save the nitrogen cycle?
Planting leguminous plants
I want matter about the information about leguminous plants?
these are the such plants that fix the nitrogen in the soil
How do plants obtain the nitrogen they need?
Some plants are leguminous and have root nodules by which they are able to directly absorb the nitrogen from the atmosphere. If the are not leguminous, they get the nitrogen from the soils via their roots. For the same purpose of supplying nitrogen to the plants, farmers also add nitrogenous fertilizers to the soil which provides sufficient amount of nitrogen to the plants
What lives in the roots of leguminous plants and convert atmospheric nitrogen into plants unable form?
Rhizoobium or nitrogen fixing bacteria lives in the roots of leguminous plants.leguminous plants are not able to use atmospheric nitrogen as sush,so these bacteria convert nitrogen into simpler forms i.e nitrates and nitrits which are easily used up by these plants.
Why do farmers grow leguminous crops between 2 other plants?
They have nodules on their roots which contain nitrogen fixing bacteria. These take the nitrogen from the air and convert it to nitrogen compounds in the soil which plants use as nutrients. In short, using leguminous plants increases the fertility of the soil.
Where are the nitrogen fixing bacteria present?
these are found in the soil and in the roots of leguminous plants
What kind of bacteria survive on leguminous plants?
Nitrogen fixing Rhizobium bacteria.
Why is nitrogenous fertilizer not added in soil in which leguminous plants are grown?
Because leguminous plants are capable of fixing free nitrogen from the air with help of their root nodules. Thus soil get rich in nitrates in those places where these plants are grown.
What is the genus of the nitrogen fixing bacteria that is common with leguminous plants?
Usually Rhizobium or Bradyrhizobium.
Why can leguminous plant trap nitrogen from the air?
There are symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria in the root nodules of leguminous plants. They can fix atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium compound and supply the nitrogenous compounds to the plant.
What two kinds of plants have nitrogen bacteria in their roots?
Nitrogen fixing bacteria are common in the roots of leguminous plants like Melilotus,Trigonella, ground nut etc. and some Gymnospermous plants like Podocarpus
How are root nodules useful for the plants?
The root nodules of leguminous plants like gram,pulses,etc. contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria,rhizobia, which help in fixing nitrogen in the soil for the plants to absorb.Nitrogen is essential for the growth of plants.
