nitrites
The organisms that are involved in the movement of nitrogen between the air and soil and back to the air are plants and bacteria. When plants decompose they release nitrogen and bacteria fixes nitrogen back into the air.

Nitrogen fixation is the process by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants.

nitrites
Nitrogen used by plants and animals is returned to the atmosphere by the action of bacteria. Bacteria break down proteins to obtain energy, releasing nitrogen back into the air in the process.

Nitrogen fixation is the process by which bacteria remove nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants.
Although the air is made up of about 80% nitrogen, plants cannot use nitrogen in this N2 form. Nitrogen fixing bacteria change nitrogen into the form of soluble nitrates so that plants can use it. Other bacteria, known as de-nitrifying bacteria, change nitrates back into N2, which completes the nitrogen cycle
