3 N cycle in the soil-plant-atmosphere system Soil Fertility and Fertilizers, Havlin et al., 2005

4 N transformations Mineralization = organic N to mineral N (NH 4+ ) Immobilization = mineral N to organic N by microbes Denitrification = nitrate to gaseous NO, N 2 O, or N 2 Volatilization = Gaseous NH 3 loss to the atmosphere (NH 4+ to NH 3 at high ph >7.6 and urea to NH 3 ) NH 4+ Fixation = movement of ammonium into clays Nitrification = NH 4+ to NO 3 - Nitrate leaching = movement of nitrate in water below root zone
