Nitrogen cycle
Across
- 2. Atmospheric nitrogen is converted to ammonium by these organisms.
- 6. It harbours a bacteria called rhizobia and houses them.
- 8. Large build-up in soil.
- 9. surface level nitrogen storage.
- 12. Conversion of dissolved ammonia into ammonia gas.
- 15. an inorganic chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH.
- 18. Dead organisms are broken down.
- 19. Ammonium is converted to nitrite by specialised bacteria
- 21. The process of turning nitrate into nitrogen gas.
- 23. Animal waste product contributing to soil nitrogen.
- 24. Solid waste excreted by livestock, contributing to nitrogen in soil.
- 25. give farmers a tool to be able to boost production when they need to.
Down
- 1. Conversion of nitrogen from organic matter back into the soil as ammonium.
- 3. Plants use this process to take up nitrogen from the soil.
- 4. Strips Nitrogen out of the atmosphere.
- 5. Bacteria that convert nitrites (NO₂⁻) into nitrates (NO₃⁻).
- 7. Element essential for plant and microbial uptake from soil.
- 10. The ion form of nitrogen absorbed by plants, symbolized as NO₃⁻.
- 11. Water that runs off over the surface of the land. If there’s too much rain.
- 13. The conversion of nitrogen gas from a mostly unusable form to a form that can be used by plants.
- 14. It causes Nitrogen in the atmosphere to be converted into biologically available forms.
- 16. The process of nitrogen being removed from the soil and ending up in water bodies.
- 17. Extracted by humans and burned for a variety of reasons.
- 20. Crop output.
- 22. Form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.
