This nitrogen mostly comes from when the earths atmosphere was mainly methane and ammonia. ]]> 2016-09-09 13:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/haydkgri/munmvfwlnr7k/wish/122730625 haydkgri https://padlet.com/haydkgri/munmvfwlnr7k/wish/122731624 It is then absorbed into the ground and bacteria turn it into Ammonium (NH4+).
This process it called Ammonification.]]> 2016-09-09 13:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/haydkgri/munmvfwlnr7k/wish/122731624 haydkgri https://padlet.com/haydkgri/munmvfwlnr7k/wish/122733145 Then another type of bacteria turns the ammonium in the ground into nitrites (NO2-).
