Top processes

Nitrogen cycling

1 step

Bacteria fix N2 into ammonium (biological nitrogen fixation)

Bacteria and archaea

1 step

Biological nitrogen fixation: nitrogenase, oxygen protection and regulation

Biological nitrogen fixation: nitrogenase, oxygen protection and regulation

1 step

Fixation is limited by molybdenum, phosphorus and iron supply, and alternative V or Fe nitrogenases are less efficient

Biological nitrogen fixation: free-living and symbiotic

1 step

Nitrogenase needs molybdenum, iron and phosphorus; Mo limits free-living fixation in some tropical forest litter

Nitrogen fixation supply-demand feedback

1 step

Phosphorus and molybdenum supply can cap fixation
