Best Answer

Nitrates are formed by the chemical bonding of Nitrogen and 3 Oxygens, yielding the anionic formula NO3-. This can be caused by a variety of chemical reactions involving nitrogen and oxygen where the environment is favorable for forming a nitrate ion or compound.

What form of nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere by plant?

Your answer is invalid, because the plants return the nitrogen back in to the air. I think what you're trying to ask is what forms of nitrogen is taken by the plants.
