N cycle to aid in reaching that goal. Nitrogen Cycle The N cycle illustrates how N from manure, fertilizers and plants moves through the soil to crops, water and the air. Understanding the N cycle will help you make the best use of manure and ...
The fluxes used in this global summary are largely those deduced within each of the sectors (terrestrial, marine, etc.) presented in the companion papers. 2. Sources of fixed nitrogen (a) Biological fixation (i) Terrestrial ecosystems BNF provides an important reference when quantifying the import...
Nitrification is an important part of the estuarine nitrogen cycle, which impacts primary productivity and maintains global nitrogen balance14. The process is conventionally carried out by two separate microbial guilds, consisting of ammonia oxidizers and nitrite oxidizers. Most studies have focused on am...
The impacts of enhanced nitrogen (N) deposition on the global forest carbon (C) sink and other ecosystem services may depend on whether N is deposited in reduced (mainly as ammonium) or oxidized forms (mainly as nitrate) and the subsequent fate of each. However, the fates of the two key...
anammox, and the remaining amount is removed by other nitrogen cycle bacteria. The NH4+, NO2−, and NO3−attributed to various groups of microorganisms by keeping R1 (1.15) and R2 (0.19) values by using Eqs.4and5. Overall, the proposed nitrogen mass balance shows a clear coupling of ...
2022). However, the comparison between Venus and Earth is complicated by the fact that the nitrogen cycle is modulated by Earth’s biosphere (Jacob 1999; Zerkle and Mikhail 2017). Sulfur dioxide is the third most abundant gas in the atmosphere of Venus. In contrast to N2, SO2 is extremely...

Nitrogen (N2) fixation in oligotrophic surface waters is the main source of new nitrogen to the ocean1 and has a key role in fuelling the biological carbon pump2. Oceanic N2 fixation has been attributed almost exclusively to cyanobacteria, even though ge
