With reference to Environmental Studies (EVS) teaching and Biogeochemical Cycles, consider the following statements regarding the 'Nitrogen Cycle' and its various biological processes:
1. Atmospheric nitrogen (N2) cannot be directly absorbed by plants; therefore, under the process of 'Nitrogen Fixation', specific microorganisms such as Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and blue-green algae convert it into ammonia or nitrate compounds.
2. 'Nitrification' is the process in which ammonia present in the soil is first converted into nitrite by Nitrosomonas bacteria and then into nitrate by Nitrobacter bacteria, which is easily absorbed by plants.
3. During the 'Denitrification' process, denitrifying bacteria such as Pseudomonas convert the nitrates present in the soil back into gaseous nitrogen (N2) and release it into the atmosphere, thereby maintaining the global balance of nitrogen.
