Generation

Soil nutrient cycles involve the continuous movement of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) through plants, soil, and organisms. Nitrogen cycles through fixation, nitrification, and denitrification; phosphorus moves between organic matter and mineral forms; and potassium cycles between soil minerals and plant uptake. The key nitrification formula is: **NH₄⁺ → NO₂⁻ → NO₃⁻** (ammonium converts to nitrite then nitrate). Plants absorb these nutrients in specific forms: N as NO₃⁻ or NH₄⁺, P as H₂PO₄⁻ or HPO₄²⁻, and K as K⁺.
