Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Nitrogen fixation is the process by which atmospheric N₂ is reduced to ammonia, which is then converted into nitrates that plants can absorb. This can be biological (by bacteria like Rhizobium, Azotobacter), physical (lightning), or industrial (Haber-Bosch process). Nitrification is the oxidation of ammonia to nitrates. Ammonification releases ammonia from organic matter. Denitrification converts nitrates back to N₂.
