Nitrification systems and denitrification systems are used to control ammonia levels and turn nitrate into gaseous nitrogen species. Denitrification is a biochemical process that removes nitrogen from ...
The major transformations of nitrogen are nitrogen fixation, nitrification, denitrification, anammox, and ammonification (Figure 1). The transformation of nitrogen into its many oxidation states ...
While producers apply nitrogen fertilizer to their crops, they can’t always keep nutrients in the soil for maximum efficiency, often losing them into the atmosphere or water supply.
Then during the growing season, soil microorganisms convert the ammonium to nitrate, which is the main form taken up by plants. The soil conditions most favorable to this conversion process (called ...
