What is the Relative Abundance of Nitrogen?
March 9th, 2010 | by admin |What is the Relative Abundance of Nitrogen. And where is it found besides air. And how is it Obtained. Im interested in this. And search engines haven’t helped me at all. So please tell me! Thank you!
Nitrogen is 79% of the air
It is found in all proteins
It is put into manmade fertilizers to give nitrogen to plants to make proteins. It is found in the feces of animals and that is used as fertilizer.
nitrogen fixing bacteria are able to take it from the air to make it available to plants. They live on the roots of legumes. Sometimes theese crops are plowed under to give the soil the new nitrogen
as plants and animals decay, their nitrogen is released into the soil for plants
Check the nitrogen cycle to see the different bacteria that help keep nitrogen available
Nitrogen may be obtained by fractional distillation of liquid air

it is frozen i think, and if you put your finger in liquid nitrogen and slam it on a table, it will smash like glass, and when it thaws it will start to bleed and be very very very painful.

Urine is very rich in Nitrogen.

I’m not sure what Relative Abundance of Nitrogen means.
But nitrogen is found in the ground as well as the air. It is absolutely vital for many species of plants that cannot take nitrogen in through their leaves and stems.
Clover is a traditional grounder for nitrogen. Clover can absorb nitrogen from the air, then Transfer it to the ground when it decays. Old farming trick.
Relative Abundance might relate to the large amount of Nitrogen in a given environment, and the few species capable of actually accessing it.
I would research clover and other holding crops for your answer. Learn about how they capture, store, and Transfer Nitrogen.
Good Luck
