ammonification

This can be both an aerobic and anaerobic process and is often referred to as ammonification.

Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification.

Ammonification or Mineralization is performed by bacteria to convert the ammonia to ammonium.

This process is called ammonification.

Together with ammonification, nitrification forms a mineralization process that refers to the complete decomposition of organic material, with the release of available nitrogen compounds.

Bacteria, or fungi in some cases, convert the organic nitrogen within the remains back into ammonium (NH), a process called ammonification or mineralization.

It was necessary to develop the method to generate nitrate from organic fertilizer via ammonification and nitrification, because most of crops are nitrate-phylic but not ammonium-philic.

In organic hydroponics, organic fertilizer is degraded into inorganic nutrients by microorganisms in the hydroponic solution via ammonification and nitrification.

Three different pathways can be involved in the nitrogen cycle: ammonification of amino acids, dissimilatory reduction of nitrate, and degradation of urea or uric acid.

As ammonification increases, so does nitrification of the mineralized N. Because microbial nitrification and denitrification are "leaky", N deposition is expected to increase trace gas emissions.
