Decaying plants add nitrogen to the soil is called?
the nitrogen cycle
What are the different ways by nitrogen in the air reaches the soil?
Nitrogen can enter the soil from plants such as legumes which fix nitrogen in their roots. Also dead plants and animals add nitrogen into the soil.
How do farmers replace nitrogen in the soil?
There are two ways plants put nitrogen into the soil one is decomposition where a plant dies then decomposes putting the nitrogen back into the soil that it once took out. The other is from the air, Legumes are plants that take nitrogen from the air with their leaves and release it into the soil with its roots.
What decay plants add to new soil?
nutrients
How can you prevent soil exhaustion?
By either leaving the soil to go fallow which is leaving it to grow weeds for a year to allow the nutrients to return to the soil naturally or you could plant specific plants that compensate each others nutritional needs such as one type that requires alot of nitrogen with one that releases alot of nitrogen as it rots down. You can also add manure to the soil or you can use man made fertilisers. Also using certain plants that have good root systems to hold the soil together to help maintain the structure of the soil may help too.

How do you add organic nitrogen?
There are nitrogen fixing plants, such as legumes, that will add nitrogen to the soil naturally. When these plants die, they release nitrogen into the soil, making it available for other plants.

How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not the atmosphere?
if not from the atmosphere , they must depend on a process called nitrogen fixation. They get it from the soil. That's why farmers add fertilizer to the soil to increase nitrogen content

What happens to the soil when the dead bodies ofdead animals decompose?
The contents of the decomposing body (such as nitrogen) sink into the soil, and add to the life cycle. Plants flourish in such environments because of their need for nitrogen.
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.
How do plants benefit from waste products and decay of other organisms?
Waste products and decaying organic matter add necessary minerals to the soil to be taken up by plants for metabolic activities.
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
Decaying plant add carbon to the soil?
Carbon Cycle-short and sweet :)
What organisms can help plants take up nitrogen from the air?
Any nitrogen-fixing bacteria adds nitrogen to the soil for plants. More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms and they play an important role in the nitrogen cycle. There are a few plants that love nitrogen gas. They are able to draw the nitrogen gas from the air and store it in their roots. These are called nitrogen fixing plants. But they need help from the bacteria mentioned above. They do release a little nitrogen to the soil and when they die, they add more. The group of plants that do this are the legumes (peas and beans).
