What is the nitrogen cycle?..

Answer / Abhishek Chaudhary

The nitrogen cycle is a series of processes that recycle nitrogen from the atmosphere into organisms and back again. The major steps include fixation (converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by plants), mineralization (breaking down organic matter to release inorganic nitrogen), nitrification (converting ammonia into nitrate), denitrification (converting nitrate back into gaseous nitrogen), and assimilation (plants absorbing nitrogen).
