Nitrogen fixing: because atmospheric N cannot be used directly by plants it must first be converted into ammonia by bacteria Ammonification: decomposers covert organic waste into ammonia Nitrification: ammonia is converted to nitrate ions (NO-3) Assimilation: inorganic N is converted into organic molecules such as DNA/amino acids & proteins Denitrification: bacteria convert ammonia back into N
