Detailed explanation-1: -This process of conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia is called ammonification. Further, this ammonia is converted into nitrites and then into nitrates by a process called nitrification.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nitrogen fixation is a process by which nitrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3) or other molecules available to living organisms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nitrogen fixation is the process by which gaseous nitrogen (N2) is converted to ammonia (NH3 or NH4+) via biological fixation or nitrate (NO3-) through high-energy physical processes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nitrogen fixation (the conversion of inert nitrogen to ammonium, ammonia, nitrate, or nitrogen oxides) is a process which occurs naturally, but can also occur through anthropogenic processes.
