Nitrogen-fixing plants

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007553

Plants that have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, typically residing in root nodules, which convert atmospheric nitrogen gas into ammonia. Legumes such as peas, beans, and clover are prominent examples of these plants. This process enriches the soil with usable nitrogen compounds, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
