Nitrogen in a sentence

As long as the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of fresh residues in the soil is above 30:1, nitrogen will be in short supply and other bacteria will feed on the ammonium and incorporate its nitrogen into their cells in the immobilization process.

Chemical forms of nitrogen are most often of concern with regard to eutrophication, because plants have high nitrogen requirements so that additions of nitrogen compounds will stimulate plant growth.

New vs. regenerated nitrogen Nitrogen entering the euphotic zone is referred to as new nitrogen because it is newly arrived from outside the productive layer.

Nitrogen transporter Another function is to combine with nitrogen released in the cell, therefore preventing nitrogen overload.

Most nutrient reductions so far have come from upgrades at wastewater treatment plants that cut nitrogen and phosphorus discharges, and from air pollution controls that reduced nitrogen emissions from burning fossil fuels.

This clearly demonstrates that as the crude protein content of the diet is reduced, nitrogen is used more efficiently, and less nitrogen will be excreted in manure.

To compare soil roots with aerial roots, we then fed the heavy nitrogen solution to individual roots and measured the amount of heavy nitrogen that was taken up by each.

In a veterinary euthanasia study comparing death from pentobarbital injection to nitrogen gas inhalation, most animals exposed to nitrogen gas developed early convulsions.

In the nitrogen-poor sandy soil without added bacteria, the plants grew very little and had persistently yellowish leaves owing to lack of nitrogen.

Net realized selling price was lower in the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 for all major nitrogen products primarily due to weaker benchmark prices resulting from lower energy prices in key nitrogen producing regions.

One study prepared for Oklahoma lawmakers considering whether to allow nitrogen gas executions cited research that concluded "without oxygen present, inhalation of only 12 breaths of pure nitrogen will cause a sudden loss of consciousness".

Downstream, Air Products provides membrane nitrogen generators for LNG carriers, and land-based membrane and cryogenic nitrogen systems for LNG import terminals and baseload LNG plants.

Early season iron chlorosis deficiency symptoms may actually be reduced because the decomposing sugarbeets tie-up any available nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen is known to aggravate symptoms of IDC when soybeans are in their juvenile phase.

Azolla supplements nitrogen to rice crop by fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the soil for crop growth, crop production and thereby maintaining of soil fertility.

For example, if a farmer has a stable capacity and the necessary nitrogen permits for 100 cows, but only has 90 cows, the farmer can only sell the nitrogen 'space' for the actual number of cows, instead of the number of cows in the permit.

Over time the root develops a nodule containing a package of nitrogen that may feed the tree now or release the nitrogen in the soil making it available to other plants in the future.

That said, growers may be considering applying nitrogen stabilizer with spring nitrogen applications.

To identify the source of nitrogen, scientists developed a method for measuring isotope ratios in the nitrogen trapped in the coral skeletons.

And then there's this: "We also have nitrogen-infused cereal this year where you eat the nitrogen infused cereal and then you can blow smoke out of your mouth like a dragon," said Moore.

Nitrogen-fixing organisms convert nitrogen into the soil from the air.
