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 ...

Prof. Dhar leads the school of thought which believes that nitrification in soils and nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere are, especially in the tropics, photochemical at least as much as ...

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

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 ...

Church Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 62, No. 1 (2017), pp. 200-216 (17 pages) We present nearly 9 yrs (June 2005–December 2013) of measurements of upper-ocean (0 m to 125 m) dinitrogen (N₂) ...

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 ...

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.

Zinc had not previously been linked to the regulation of nitrogen fixation, but our study found that a change in zinc levels in turn activates FUN, which then controls a large number of genes that ...

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 ...

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 ...
