Understanding the Nitrogen Cycle

The Nitrogen Cycle Environmental Chemistry Chemistry

Nitrogen changes forms throughout the process and from the atmosphere to the soil to organisms and back again There are five stages of the nitrogen cycle

cell cycle nitrogen lossgain and methane release Benthic nitrogen fixation While biogenic reworking of sediment is known to enhance the Nitrogen Cycle 287

carbon cycle Nitrogen Sinks The primary reservoir for long-term storage of nitrogen is nitrogen gas in the atmosphere However, there are other, smaller nitrogen sinks in
