Construction managers, also called general contractors or project managers, typically do the following: 1  Prepare and negotiate cost estimates, budgets, and work timetables. 2  Select appropriate construction methods and strategies. 3  Interpret and explain contracts and technical information to workers and other professionals.
Denitrification is the process that converts nitrate to nitrogen gas, thus removing bioavailable nitrogen and returning it to the atmosphere. Dinitrogen gas (N2) is the ultimate end product of denitrification, but other intermediate gaseous forms of nitrogen exist (Figure 7).
The nitrogen cycle shows reactions that various inorganic nitrogen compounds undergo in soil. The nitrogen cycle, as typically described, begins with nitrogen in its simplest stable form, dinitrogen (N 2), and follows it through the processes of fixation, mineralization, nitrification, leaching, plant assimilation, ammonia volatilization, denitrification, and immobilization.
