Where are nitrogen-fixing bacteria found?

• In the soil
• Root nodules
• In dead things
• In the atmosphere

This process is responsible for most environmental problems of excess nitrogen and phosphorus entering streams, lakes and oceans.

• decomposition
• emissions from automobiles
• agriculture and house hold runoff
• photosynthesis
