What is nitrogen fixation ?

Nitrogen fixing, also known as nitrogen fixation, is a process through which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into compounds which are usable by plants. It is an important part of the nitrogen cycle, which contributes to the growth of plants all over the world, and therefore to the success of organisms like animals and people. In addition to occurring in nature, nitrogen fixing can also be accomplished chemically for industrial purposes.
