Please help me!!! 26 POINTS !!!!<br> what would happen to an ecosystem without nitrifying bacteria?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Microbes. Bacteria, for example, convert nitrogen and carbon dioxide from the air into usable components that plants and animals can use as essential building blocks. A loss of all microbes would be terrible news for living organisms that can't create or take in these essential nutrients on their own.
