General Information
Term nitrogen cycle metabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0071941 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A nitrogen compound metabolic process that contributes to the nitrogen cycle. The nitrogen cycle is a series of metabolic pathways by which nitrogen is converted between various forms and redox states; it encompasses pathways in which nitrogen is acted upon directly, such as nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and mineralization.[ PubMed:16675690 ]
