  1. The Nitrogen Cycle Leslie Templin Emily Evans Ashley Allen

  2. Major Components • Animal and plant residue (decay, waste, etc.) • Bacteria • Factories • Fertilizer • Acid Rain

  3. Nutrients • Nitrates • Ammonium

  4. Phases • Rain, plants, animals, and factories put nitrogen into the soil. • Bacteria converts organic nitrogen (plants and animals) into plant-useable ammonium. • Bacteria converts ammonium into plant useable nitrate. • Plants take up nitrate and ammonium. • Bacteria convert nitrates back into atmospheric nitrogen through denitrification. • Leaching moves nitrates below the root zone and out of the cycle. • Runoff is produced by waste that is not soaked into the ground.
