Why is it that nitrogen is often a limiting plant nutrient, despite the fact that the atmosphere is 80% nitrogen gas (N2)

Nitrogen is a limiting plant nutrient because the bulk of the available nitrogen in the atmosphere is not usable by plants.

Plants are not able to make use of the nitrogen in the atmosphere directly. Atmospheric nitrogen needs to be converted into usable forms before it can be accessed by plants.

The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to usable form by plants is known as nitrogen fixation and this is achievable by the activities of certain bacteria.

More on nitrogen fixation can be found here; brainly.com/question/4191267?referrer=searchResults

Living organisms do not play a role in the water cycle.<br> True Or false?
Inessa [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

False

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Water is perhaps the most important component of any ecosystem. All living organisms need water to grow and survive. The organisms involved in this cycle are plants, animals, bacteria and decomposers. All of them use water for their own processes and functions. The processes involved are evaporation, condensation, sublimation, precipitation, transpiration, runoff, and infiltration. Since plants and animals both need water in very greater amount therefore we cannot neglect their importance in water cycle.
