Chemical Reactions Oxidation: the loss of at least one electron when two or more substances interact; those substances may or may not include oxygen Reduction: chemical reaction in which atoms have their oxidation number (oxidation state) changed

Inorganic Reservoirs Organic Reservoirs Air Organic Reservoirs Soil

AND THE CYCLE BEGINS AGAIN! Pathway of Movement Nitrogen Fixation: process to break the nitrogen molecule apart so that its atoms can combine with other atoms, requiring the input of substantial amounts of energy Decay: the breakdown of the molecules in excretions and dead organisms into ammonia Nitrification: process of converting ammonia produced by decay into nitrates Denitrification: reduces nitrates to nitrogen gas, thus replenishing the atmosphere. AND THE CYCLE BEGINS AGAIN!

Impact of Humans on Cycle Six major effects of NOx and NH3 emissions: 1) decreased atmospheric visibility due to ammonium aerosols (fine particulate matter [PM]) 2) elevated ozone concentrations 3) ozone and PM affects human health (e.g., respiratory diseases, cancer) 4) increases in relative forcing and global climate change 5) decreased agricultural productivity due to ozone deposition 6) ecosystem acidification and eutrophication
