Best Answer

Curse: Denitrifying bacteria convert the nitrogenous compounds into free nitrogen, hence reducing the nitrogenous compound levels in the soil.

Boon: Denitrifying bacteria prevent the plants from having too much nitrogen. Extra nitrogen could harm the ecosystem as a whole, because some wild plants like cultivated crops can thrive on nitrogen. The growth of these plants is favoured in nitrogen-saturated environments. This upsets the ecosystem. Some of this sort of damage is seen in colder countries, where natural nitrogen cycling is slowest.
