nitrogen cycle  

Définition

  • The nitrogen (n) cycle describes the transformation of nitrogen into its various organic and inorganic forms and its movement between different deposits in the atmosphere, soils, vegetation, and living organisms of the micro and macro fauna. The nitrogen cycle is one of the most important nutrient cycles within the world's ecosystems, since nitrogen is indispensable for the constitution of living organisms, which synthesize proteins, peptides, amino, and nucleic acids from nitrogen.
