Question

define ammonification and nitrification?​

Answer 1

ammonification. 1 : the act or process of ammoniating. 2 : decomposition with production of ammonia or ammonium compounds especially by the action of bacteria on nitrogenous organic matter.

Nitrification; It is the biological oxidation of ammonia or ammonium to nitrite followed by the oxidation of the nitrite to nitrate. The transformation of ammonia to nitrite is usually the rate limiting step of nitrification.Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil.

Answer 2

Here is your answer...

Ammonification is the process by which the organically bound nitrogen of microbial plant and animal biomass is recycled after their death.

Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia or ammonium to nitrite followed by the oxidation of the nitrite to nitrate. The transformation of ammonia to nitrite is usually the rate limiting step of nitrification. Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil.
