The short answer is no, denitrification is actually favorable to farming. When farmers fertilize fields, most of the nitrogen is lost to groundwater or streams. The farm is responsible for where that nitrogen ultimately ends up (excess nitrogen causes depleted water quality downstream). Denitrification naturally removes nitrogen from groundwater, soils, and streams. This process does have a downside, though. It can produce nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. Although denitrification removes nitrogen from water, it can also release a greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. Scientists are studying when more nitrous oxide is released and how that can be managed.
