Because of the scarcity of suitable carbon and energy sources for these organisms, their contribution to global nitrogen fixation rates is generally considered minor. However, a recent study in ...

The major transformations of nitrogen are nitrogen fixation, nitrification, denitrification, anammox, and ammonification (Figure 1). The transformation of nitrogen into its many oxidation states ...

61, No. 4 (2016), pp. 1406-1423 (18 pages) Nitrogen (N) transformations and fluxes at the sediment-water interface (SWI) were measured in Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain, to clarify the role of N in ...

Research into bacteria strains that are both competitive and efficient in nitrogen fixation and developing plants with those ...

Plants need nitrogen to grow, but they can’t just grab it from the air like we do with oxygen. If the soil doesn’t have enough, farmers have to add fertilizers—an expensive and environmentally tricky ...

Nitrogen fixation by soybean decreases exponentially as N application rate increases, such that application of 45 lb/ac N can lead to a 40% or greater reduction in N fixation over the maximum ...

Brazil is the world's largest producer of soybeans and one of the reasons is the incorporation of bio-inputs, microorganisms ...

AsRon Calhoun, Senior Portfolio Manager for Plant Nutrition at Nutrien Ag Solutions, explains with its three modes of action—N-Finity is elevating how Loveland Products can further nutrient use ...

Just like today, early life on Earth was therefore dependent on nitrogen fixation by microbes. In other words, on their conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen compounds that living ...

Nitrates are natural fertilizers. As the rain comes down in a thunderstorm, it carries those nitrates down to the ground. This fertilizes the grass, and it allows things to green up a little bit more.

Lightning can act as a fertilizer via the process of nitrogen fixation. Web Editor : Jessica Patrick Reporter : Chris Michaels. Posted 2025-04-08T10:39:13-0400 - Updated 2025-04-0 ...

A small helper for big tasks: an oxygen sensor protein protects the enzymatic machinery of biological nitrogen fixation from ...
