In this video, we break down how nitrogen moves through the environment — from the atmosphere to soil, plants, animals, and back again — and why it’s one of the most tested nutrient cycles in AP Environmental Science. You’ll understand: ✅ The key steps of the nitrogen cycle (nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification) ✅ Why nitrogen is essential for proteins and DNA but unusable by most organisms in its atmospheric form ✅ How human activities like fertilizer use and fossil fuel combustion disrupt the cycle 🎓 Perfect for: AP Environmental Science students (APES Unit 1: Ecosystem Fundamentals) 🔔 Subscribe to The Visual School for more illustrated APES lessons and free study resources.
