A student measure soil nitrate (NO3-) concentrations everyday for a week. He wants to use these data to quantify nitrification. Is this appropriate and why? O Yes, the change in nitrate is a net flux that also includes denitrification O No, the change in nitrate is a gross flux that only includes nitrification O No, the change in nitrate is a net flux that also includes denitrification O Yes, the change in nitrate is a net flux that only includes nitrification

Figure 46.17 Which of the following statements about the nitrogen cycle is false? Ammonification converts organic nitrogenous matter from living organisms into ammonium (NH4+). Denitrification by bacteria converts nitrates (NO3-) to nitrogen gas (N2). Nitrification by bacteria converts nitrates (NO3) to nitrites (NO2-). Nitrogen fixing bacteria convert nitrogen gas (N2) into organic compounds.
