Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

In the nitrogen cycle, phytoplankton and other marine plants turn nitrate (NO 3) into organic nitrogen during photosynthesis. The organic nitrogen sinks into the deep ocean, where microbes "eat ...

Introduction The ammonia is traditionally procured from energy-intensive and fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Most carbo ...

Nitrogen gas makes up 78% of Earth’s atmosphere and is an essential component in amino acids and proteins. However, plants and animals cannot use nitrogen gas directly. Nitrates and other ...

which pays out large amounts in fertilizer subsidies. It should also decrease N 2 O gas emissions and nitrate leaching from agricultural land, creating a healthier global nitrogen cycle.

In the global oceans, however ... particles is expected to have indirect and delayed impact on the oceanic nitrogen cycle compared to that of cyanobacteria. These insights may be particularly ...

"By fixing N 2 mostly below the surface layers, the bacterial activity associated with particles is expected to have indirect and delayed impact on the oceanic nitrogen cycle compared to that of ...
