Great job! Your answers are correct. Denitrification is the process in which nitrate ions are converted back into atmospheric nitrogen. Nitrates are a form of nitrogen that can be taken up by plants and used for growth. The process of denitrification helps to recycle and replenish nitrogen in the environment. Decomposition of organic matter is another important process that releases nitrogen back into the soil and allows it to be used by plants. Well done!
