Summary Introduction

To determine:

The impulse that causes human to capture nitrogen from the air and pump it into the nitrogen cycle.

Introduction:

Nitrogen is an important component in proteins, many vitamins, nucleotides, and nucleic acids. The nitrogen cycle represents a pathway through which nitrogen from its primary reservoir as nitrogen gas in the atmosphere passed to much smaller reservoirs of ammonia and nitrate in soil and water, through different trophic levels, and back to its primary reservoirs.
