Nitrification is a process by which specific bacteria convert different forms of N-containing compounds (like ammonia, NH3) in the soil to nitrites (NO2) and nitrates (NO3). This process is important since nitrates are one form of nitrogen that is usable by plants to build their proteins.

Answer 1

N2 gas is removed from the atmosphere mainly through natural processes like nitrogen fixation, where certain bacteria convert it into forms like ammonia that plants can use, and by human activities like fertilizers that promote this conversion in the soil.
