There would be no release of organic nitrogen molecules back to their inorganic state. Dead material would accumulate to choke out livable habitat.
Plants fix atmospheric carbon in photosynthesis and some species of bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen so life would continue taking these into the organic cycle but without decomposing fungi & bacteria the cycle would not complete. However the final step of reduction to N2 is only completed by bacteria. In fact bacteria are critical to every step of the nitrogen cycle. 

Fungi also decompose dead plants and animals so are detrital feeders putting nitrogen into the nitrogen cycle but not as N2. Fungi cannot reduce N2O to N2. So fungi make N2O as their denitrification product. True denitrification, like nitrogen fixing, does not occur in eukaryotes only bacteria.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

The answer is: The missions expanded to become settlements guarded by soldiers.

Explanation:

The Spanish Missions played an important role for the Spanish crown, the missions that came to America in 1566 had several purposes, one of them was to transform the indigenous people into Christianity, likewise to achieve the settlement of the missions, obtaining territorial expansion and controlling the economy in America.

The Spanish missions when settling in a territory prevented other countries such as the French or the British from conquering their territories. Sending missions was the perfect justification for the Spanish crown to take care of its territory, so these missions were guarded by soldiers of the crown.
