Where does nitrogen in the soil come from?
Nitrogen compounds known as Nitrates found in the soil
How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not from 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
If nearly 79 percent of the atmosphere in nitrogen How could there be a shortage in soil?

What converts nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
okay heres the nitrogen cycle nitrogen from atmosphere it taken in by 1)lightning( its energy causes nitrogen to react with oxygen n rain to the soil) 2)nitrogen- fixing bacteria in nodules ( plant roots which take it directly form the atmosphere ) NITROGEN FROM SOIL to organisms 1)nitrogen fixing bacteria in soil - breakdown of dead plants n animals releases nitrogen to the soil 2)fertilizers - which contain nitrogen compounds eg NPK OR natural fertilizers i,e dead plants n animals release nitrogen , animal urine and faeces release nitrogen as well to the soil 3)nitrogen fixing bacteria in nodules get nitrogen from its compounds in the soil 4)nitrifying bacteria - converts compounds of ammonia into nitrates .. for the plant nodules NITROGEN TO ATMOSPHERE 1) denitrifying bacteria in soil - changes nitrates to nitrogen gas and its released back to the atmosphere
How does nitrogen move into the geosphere?
Nitrogen moves into the geosphere primarily through the weathering of nitrogen-rich minerals and the deposition of organic materials. When plants and animals die, their nitrogen-containing compounds decompose and contribute nitrogen to the soil. Additionally, atmospheric nitrogen can be fixed by certain bacteria in the soil, converting it into forms that can be absorbed by plants and ultimately becoming part of the geosphere. This process is part of the broader nitrogen cycle, linking the atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere.

Which bacteria can release nitrogen from nitrates and nitrites in the soil back to the atmosphere?
The bacteria that can release nitrogen from nitrates and nitrites in the soil back to the atmosphere are called denitrifying bacteria.
What is the transfer of nitrogen from air to soil to organism and back to air or soil?
Nitrogen is transferred from the atmosphere to the soil through processes like nitrogen fixation by bacteria or lightning, where plants can uptake this nitrogen from the soil. Organisms then consume these plants, incorporating the nitrogen into their own tissues. When organisms die and decompose, nitrogen is released back into the soil, where it can be recycled back into the atmosphere as nitrogen gas through denitrification by bacteria, completing the nitrogen cycle.
How do you separate nitrogen from soil?
Bacteria in the soil called nitrogen-fixing bacteria go through a process called nitrogen-fixation which allows nitrogen to enter the atmosphere
What is the role of nitrogen-fixing bacteria?
they help balance the level of nitrogen in the soil and atmosphere.
How is nitrogen cycle?
when nitrogen go from soil to back in atmosphere due to nitrogen fixing bacteria then it again return to soil due to lightning, dead animals, roots of plants and by other ways. and again go to atmosphere in this way nitrogen cycled.
Can nitrogen in soil be used by plants or animals?
Nitrogen is everywhere But somehow, nitrogen has to get from the atmosphere into a form that our body can use.I also think that nitrogen in soil can be used by plants not animals
Where does an animal's or plant's nitrogen go when it dies?
The nitrogen goes into the soil and then into the atmosphere through denitrification ;)
When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?
Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.
Where are three places that nitrogen is stored in the environment?
found in water, soil/plants and the atmosphere
Where can a large amount of nitrogen be found on the planet?
The greatest concentration of nitrogen on the Earth is found in its atmosphere. The atmosphere is approximately 78 percent nitrogen.
