The question is totally misguided. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere, representing around 78%. Its crustal abundance is not quite that high because it is not a very reactive element.

Is nitrogen a limiting nutrient in the ecosystem?

Yes, nitrogen can be a limiting nutrient in ecosystems because it is essential for plant growth and can become scarce, affecting the overall productivity of the ecosystem.


Why is nitrogen scarce in the biosphere?

Nitrogen is scarce in the biosphere primarily because it exists in the atmosphere as a stable, inert gas (N₂) that most organisms cannot use directly. While nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, it must be converted into reactive forms, like ammonia or nitrates, through processes such as nitrogen fixation, which is primarily performed by certain bacteria and archaea. Additionally, human activities, such as agriculture and industrial processes, can disrupt the natural nitrogen cycle, leading to nutrient imbalances and further challenges in nitrogen availability for ecosystems.
