  1. 1. Conversion of nitrogen from organic matter back into the soil as ammonium.
  2. 3. Plants use this process to take up nitrogen from the soil.
  3. 4. Strips Nitrogen out of the atmosphere.
  4. 5. Bacteria that convert nitrites (NO₂⁻) into nitrates (NO₃⁻).
  5. 7. Element essential for plant and microbial uptake from soil.
  6. 10. The ion form of nitrogen absorbed by plants, symbolized as NO₃⁻.
  7. 11. Water that runs off over the surface of the land. If there’s too much rain.
  8. 13. The conversion of nitrogen gas from a mostly unusable form to a form that can be used by plants.
  9. 14. It causes Nitrogen in the atmosphere to be converted into biologically available forms.
  10. 16. The process of nitrogen being removed from the soil and ending up in water bodies.
