To explain: Before the evolution of land plants how nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria could sustain recycling of nitrogen.

Concept introduction:

A variety of bacteria play a significant role in plant nutrition. Plants have a mutual relationship with the nitrogen-fixing bacteria to obtain more nitrogen. Atmospheric nitrogen gets fixed into ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites that need to recycle to the atmosphere. Nitrogen cycle includes nitrogen fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification processes.
