Hey mate here is your answer
✏Nitrogen fixation
Nitrogen fixation is a process by which nitrogen in the air is converted into ammonia or related nitrogenous compounds.
✏ Nitrification
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.
✏De- nitrification
Denitrification is a microbially facilitated process where nitrate is reduced and ultimately produces molecular nitrogen through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products.
