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 ...

Can I Test My Soil for Nitrogen? Unlike other plant nutrients, most laboratories do not routinely test soil for N because the N cycle is very dynamic. The dynamic nature of the N cycle means that the ...

Sebastian Haas is a CERE.OCEAN PhD cadidate who leads the research of nitrogen cycle from the Bedford Basin Time Series. Nitrogen is a major nutrient supporting the growth of phytoplankton, which are ...

Nitrogen gas makes up 78% of Earth’s atmosphere and is an essential element in amino acids and proteins. However, plants and animals cannot use nitrogen gas directly. Root hair cells have a long ...

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 ...

Discover the fascinating world of nitrogen, from knuckle-cracking to agriculture, and the urgent need to address nitrous ...

Nitrogen from urine forms a large part of this nutrient cycle but sloughed skin, placentas, and calf feces also aid in these inputs, which help sustain marine life. The study estimates that whales ...
