Question

What are the disadvantages of the nitrogen cycle?

Answer 1

Nitrogen cycle:

1. The nitrogen cycle is a continuous series of natural processes by which nitrogen passes successively from air to soil to organisms and back to air or soil involving principally nitrification, nitrogen fixation, denitrification, and decay.

The disadvantages of the nitrogen cycle are as follows:

1. Industrial nitrogen fixation can lead to nitrogen cycle imbalance.
2. The consequences of this imbalance can be devastating.
3. Nitrogen cycle imbalances can lead to serious problems such as acid rain.
4. This problem can wreak havoc on both terrestrial and aquatic life.
