Nutrient mineralization and immobilization

Mineralization in soil science is the decomposition, i. e. oxidation, of the chemical compounds in organic matter, by which the nutrients in those compounds are released in soluble inorganic forms that may be available to plants. Mineralization is the opposite of immobilization.
For other uses, see Mineralization (disambiguation).
Mineralization increases the bioavailability of the nutrients that were in the decomposing organic compounds, most notably, because of their quantities, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur. Whether the decomposition of an organic compound will result in mineralization or immobilization is dependent on its concentration proportionate to that of the carbon in the organic matter. If the concentration of a specific element exceeds the needs of the decomposer for biosynthesis or storage then it will mineralize
Some nutrients gets tied up/eaten by the microbes while the process of decomposition and hence due to this the microbes becomes temporarily unavailable for the other organisms.And this type of incorporation of nutrients in living microbes like bacteria and fungi is called as nutrient immobilisation.
