ammonificationThe process by which decomposers break down proteins and amino acids, releasing the excess nitrogen in the form of ammonia (NH3) or ammonium ion (NH4+).

|
6 |
ammonificationThis is the process in which organic forms of nitrogen (e.g., nitrogen present in dead plant material compounds) are converted to ammonium (NH4+) by decomposers (bacteria).
