A new study suggests that past calculations of biological nitrogen fixation were overestimated by up to 66%—and that farms ...

Nitrogen is most often the limiting nutrient for crop production, since only a fraction of atmospheric nitrogen is made available to the plants through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). Extending ...

These bacteria convert nitrogen gas to ammonia through a process called biological nitrogen fixation.

The discoveries of Hellriegel and Wilfarth ended the period of controversy about the existence of biological N₂ fixation and launched a period featuring the agronomic application of the inoculation of ...

The exercise revealed that the current quantity of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is 65 (52–77) Tg N yr−1, which is lower than past estimates.

Protein protects biological nitrogen fixation from oxidative stress Date: January 15, 2025 Source: University of Freiburg Summary: A research team has discovered how the 'Shethna protein II ...

Forests, grasslands, and other natural areas around the world have access to about a quarter less nitrogen than previously estimated, according to a new study published in Nature.
