Nitrogen Fixation

Nitrogen Fixation is a biogeochemical process in the nitrogen cycle whereby atmospheric dinitrogen gas (N₂) is reduced to biologically available forms of nitrogen (primarily ammonia) by specialized microorganisms or abiotic mechanisms, thereby introducing new reactive nitrogen into ecosystems and agroecosystems.
