Nitrification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia with oxygen into nitrite followed by the oxidation of these nitrites into nitrates. Degradation of ammonia to nitrite is usually the rate limiting...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrification
An explanation of the different forms of nitrogen on earth, nitrogen fixation, decay, and nitrification. ... Many legumes, in addition to fixing atmospheric nitrogen, also perform nitrification — converting some of their organic nitrogen to nitrites and nitrates. These reach the soil when they shed their leaves.

--> Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate, via nitrite, occupies a central position within the global nitrogen cycle. ... These include denitrification, methane oxidation, degradation of xenobiotics and urea hydrolysis. In terrestrial ecosystems, nitrification influences nitrogen supply to plants,

Rates of Nitrification ... Nitrification is the process by which ammonia is converted to nitrites (NO2-) and then nitrates (NO3-). This process naturally occurs in the environment, where it is carried out by specialized bacteria.

Nitrification (PDF File)
While nitrification can degrade water quality, the formation of nitrite/nitrate and DBP formation during nitrification mitigation are the only water quality issue identified in the literature with the potential to impact public health directly.

Nitrification is a biological process during which nitrifying bacteria convert toxic ammonia to less harmful nitrate. All we need to do is provide the right conditions for the nitrifying bacteria to thrive. It is important to bear in mind the potential threat to fish health if nitrification is affected.
