Atmospheric fixation refers to the process by which atmospheric gases, such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide, are converted into a usable form by living organisms. This process involves the reduction of atmospheric gases into organic compounds, such as proteins and carbohydrates, through the action of specialized enzymes or microorganisms. The fixed atmospheric gases can then be utilized by plants, animals, or other organisms for growth and metabolism. Atmospheric fixation is an important component of nutrient cycling and is essential for maintaining the ecological balance in ecosystems.
