The nitrates may be stored in humus or leached from the soil and carried into lakes and streams. Nitrates may also be converted to gaseous nitrogen through a process called denitrification and returned to the atmosphere, continuing the cycle.he second is through lightning. During electrical storms, large amounts of nitrogen are oxidized and united with water to produce an acid that falls to Earth in rainfall and deposits nitrates in the soil.
Some of the carbon dioxide remains in the water and washes into the ocean, but a significant amount escapes into the atmosphere and that was the focus of the new study. â âThese rivers breathe a lot of carbon. They are a source of carbon dioxide just like smokestacks are.â â. he next step was to figure out an average for how much carbon dioxide the waterways are releasing. Carbon dioxide is a weak acid in water, so it affects pH, and water temperature affects how much carbon dioxide can stay dissolved in water.
