The process of conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to forms that are usable for the plants is termed as nitrogen fixation.
Ammonification is the decomposition of organic nitrogen from dead plants and animals into gaseous ammonia.
The biological reduction of nitrate to nitrogen gas by facultative heterotrophic bacteria is called denitrification.
