The use by beneficial soil microorganisms for their own benefit of nitrogen from large particle soil amendments is 'nitrogen drawdown'. Soil amendments are below ground conditioners that are either organic or mineral in their makeup. A popular form are wood chips.

Unfortunately, wood chips are so large that they may open up and thereby dry the very soil for which they're supposed to improve movement of air and moisture. They also attract beneficial decomposers. The problem lies in the strong attraction that the microorganisms feel towards the nitrogen in the chips.

Breakdown of the chips is supposed to release nitrogen and other nutrients into the soil. Unfortunately, the microorganisms may feed so much on the nitrogen that the soil becomes nitrogen deficient. Plants indicate the nitrogen deficient nature of such soil by turning yellow. The solution is nitrogen fertilizer treatments until the wood chips are broken down.
