Question

Nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is converted to forms of nitrogen usable by vegetation via:

Answer 1

FIXATION.In the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen is converted into many chemical forms through biological and physical processes like nitrogen fixation, ammonification, nitrification and denitrification.During ammonification, ammonium ions are released after decomposition of plants.During nitrogen fixation, nitrogen gas is changed to nitrates by nitrogen fixing bacteria in the soil.These are used by vegetation.
