Nitrogen Cycle
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:APBI200/Archive/2016-17WT2
See lecture #25 slide 5 and 6. What we are asking you to understand is the major roles of soil organisms. With respect to bacteria, Mitchell is correct that they are a diverse group of organisms and play a range of roles including decomposition of SOM.
If you are interested in knowing more, you may wish to consider APBI 342 / FRST 310 Soil Biology next year.
