Nitrogen compounds have more than one source in nature. Nitrogen fixing bacteria, found in the root nodules of leguminous plants, are a major source. Lightning produces a certain amount of nitric oxide (through combustion of oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere) which dissolves in the rain to form nitric acid, which also contributes biologically usable nitrogen.
