Conversion of nitrates into gaseous nitrogen and nitrous oxide.

The process by which certain bacteria living in poorly aerated soils break down nitrates, using the oxygen for their own respiration and releasing nitrogen back into the atmosphere.

Reduction of nitrates to nitrites, nitrogen oxides or dinitrogen (N2) catalysed by facultative aerobic soil bacteria under anaerobic conditions.

1883; see de- + nitrification. Related: Denitrate; denitrify.

The conversion of nitrite or nitrate to gaseous end products NO, N2O, and N2 by denitrifying bacteria. Molecular nitrogen, N2, is the most abundant end product. The oxidized forms of N (nitrate, nitri [..]

The conversion of nitrates into atmospheric nitrogen by soil microbes in water logged soils.

The conversion of nitrates into atmospheric nitrogen by soil microbes in water logged soils.

Process by which some soil organisms convert nitrate to nitrous oxides and nitrogen gas which are then lost to the atmosphere. Occurs particularly in waterlogged soils, i.e. under anaerobic conditions. Dioecious:

Denitrification is the mechanism that allows the return of nitrogen to the atmosphere thus completing the cycle: atmosphere-fixation in the soil-mineralisation and nitrification for use by plants-deni [..]

chemical conversion of dissolved nitrogen (nitrite) into gaseous nitrogen. Fires on particular soils do this.

the conversion of nitrates to nitrogen in soils by bacteria which thus leaves the soil low in nitrate and therefore less fertile.

A process facilitated by bacteria, in which nitrates (NO3) break down to molecular nitrogen (N2). © 2010 by Nature Education Knowledge.

Removal of nitrate and nitrate product from water to produce a quality that answeres common water standards.

A process performed by a few species of anaerobic soil bacteria in which nitrite or nitrate is converted to nitrogen gas (N2) or nitrous oxide (N2O). Both N2 and N2O are volatile and lost to the atmosphere.

The process in which soil bacteria convert nitrate (and/or nitrite) to nitrogen-containing gases such as N2O and ultimately N2.

The loss or removal of nitrogen or nitrogen compounds.

A step in the earth's nitrogen cycle which involves the reduction of nitrates (oxidized N) into nitrite, nitrous oxide, ammonia or elemental nitrogen (more reduced N), that is, the conversion of [..]
