Nitrogen is often the limiting nutrient (that is, the nutrient in shortest supply relative to demand) across a wide range of ecosystems. This is because: a. nitrogen compounds like ammonia are rapidly stored in rocks and sediments. O b. most nitrogen is in the form of N2, which only specialized bacteria can fix into accessible forms. О с. there is very little nitrogen on Earth, compared with other nutrients. O d. decomposers don't return nitrogen to a usable form.
