the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into the compounds by natural processes, such as lightning, and 4) biological nitrogen fixation (Vance 2001). The reduction of atmospheric nitrogen is a ...

Nitrogen is an essential component in the production of amino acids and nucleic acids -- both necessary for cell growth and function. Atmospheric nitrogen must first be converted, or 'fixed,' into a ...

but only a few taxa of bacteria have evolved the capacity to convert atmospheric dinitrogen gas, N 2, into assimilable forms of nitrogen, a process known as biological nitrogen fixation.

Producing enough ammonia to feed the world comes with a large carbon footprint; a process described in a new UB-led study ...

The practice of growing different but complementary plants within a given area, also known as intercropping, has numerous ...

Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new reactor that can produce ammonia directly from air and water — ...

Nitrogen is an essential component in the production of amino acids and nucleic acids — both necessary for cell growth and function. Although the ...

The nitrogen-15 isotopic technique is also used to quantify the amount of nitrogen fixed from the atmosphere through biological nitrogen fixation by leguminous crops. The carbon-13 isotope signature ...

Believe it or not, lightning and bacteria are primarily responsible for turning atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen living ...

nitrogen fixation (the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to nitrogen compounds that can be used by plants and other organisms), and pollinator benefits. New research published in Agrosystems ...

The practice of growing different but complementary plants within a given area, also known as intercropping, has numerous positive effects such as ...

Much of the competitiveness of autumn olive is due to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in nutrient-poor soils ... Autumn olive engages in a symbiotic relationship with Frankia bacteria in root ...
