The process of volatile nitrogen losses in wet soils =  Denitrification


The class of organism responsible for nitrogen fixation in symbiosis with legumes =
Rhizobia
The conversion of an element from an organic form to an inorganic state as a result of
microbial decomposition =  Mineralization
A concern of having too much nitrogen in the system - especially for groundwater quality =
Eutrophication
The two-step process in which NH4+ gets converted to NO3- =  Nitrification
The incorporation of essential elements into microbial tissues - such that they are no longer
available for plant uptake =Immobilization
