Together with ammonification, nitrification forms a mineralization process that refers to the complete decomposition of organic material, with the release of available nitrogen compounds.
2.
As ammonification increases, so does nitrification of the mineralized N . Because microbial nitrification and denitrification are " leaky ", N deposition is expected to increase trace gas emissions.
3.
Other processes undertaken by soil organisms include ammonification, in which ammonium is released, providing nitrogen in a form useful to plants, and nitrification, which converts some ammonium to nitrates, also useful.
4.
Incorporation of greater amounts of N in organic matter decreases C : N ratios, increasing mineral N release ( NH 4 + ) during organic matter decomposition by heterotrophic microbes ( i . e . ammonification ).
