Nitrogen

Healthy plants have a lot of nitrogen in their above-ground parts, usually around 3 to 4 percent. This is much more than other nutrients like carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Nitrogen is very important for plants because it helps them make chlorophyll, which is how they use sunlight to make sugar from water and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen is also a key part of proteins, which are like the building blocks for plants. Without proteins, plants can’t survive. Nitrogen is also used to make compounds that help transfer energy in cells and to make DNA, which is what allows plants (and all living things) to grow and reproduce. In short, nitrogen is essential for life as we know it.
Atmospheric nitrogen is a major source of nitrogen in soils. In the atmosphere, it exists in the very inert N₂ form and must be converted before it becomes useful in the soil. The quantity of nitrogen added to the soil in this manner is directly related to thunderstorm activity, but most areas probably receive no more than 20 lb nitrogen/acre per year from this source.
Bacteria such as Rhizobia that infect (nodulate) the roots of, and receive much food energy from, legume plants can fix much more nitrogen per year (some well over 100 lb nitrogen/acre). When the quantity of nitrogen fixed by Rhizobia exceeds that needed by the microbes themselves, it is released for use by the host legume plant. This is why well-nodulated legumes do not often respond to additions of nitrogen fertilizer. They are already receiving enough from the bacteria.
