Answer:

nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Nitrogen fixation involves converting atmospheric nitrogen into the soil by nitogen fixing bacteria to form ammonia.

• Nitrification involves converting ammonia to nitrites then to nitrates by bacteria [ nitro cocci, nitrobacter and nitrospina ]

• Denitrification is the final process that involves nitrates back to atmospheric nitrogen.
