| Front | How does soil water/oxygen content affect the nitrogen cycle? |
|---|---|
| Back | - nitrifying bacteria and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are aerobic - denitrifying bacteria are anaerobic - in waterlogged soils there is low oxygen concentration - fewer nitrifying and nitrogen fixing bacteria - more denitrifying bacteria - decrease in nitrate concentration |
