3 Soil/Rhizosphere Microorganisms are responsible for most nutrient transformation in soil cells and 10 6 distinct taxa per g of soil. Different plants have different root exudates (up to 20% of photosynthate). Arabidopsis does not grow in g-irradiated soil

7 The Players + = Soybean Bradyrhizobium japonicum N 2 fixation in nodules Soybeans twice protein per acre as any other major vegetable or grain crop, 5 to 10 times than land used for dairy, and 15 times land for meat production.
8 Nitrogen cycle Nitrogen cycles between inert N 2 and biologically available NH 3 Nitrogen main limiter of biological production 50-60% of biospheres nitrogen comes bacterial N 2 fixation in legume nodules

14 Nitrogen and population Addition of nitrogen and phosphorous: Haber Bosch process 1909 Dwarf varieties of wheat and rice (short stem, large grain): Green revolution 1960 s
15 Nitrogen cascade Massive application of Haber-Bosch Nitrogen for agriculture (120 Mt year) Reactive Nitrogen in biosphere now 2X pre-industrial level Nitrate leaches to ground water Denitrifiers convert excess soil ammonia to N 2 O (nitrous oxide) N 2 O 300X more potent greenhouse gas than CO 2
