There a number of important elements that the body uses: C,H,N,O,P, S (CHNOPS). As you see nitrogen is one of these 6. The most important use is in the nitrogen bases. These include DNA and RNA. Each has a nitrogenous base. The ones in DNA code for proteins. This code is for production of an organism such as ourselves. RNA also has bases and RNA is important in the "reading" and "translation" of these bases.

What is 'nitrogen drawdown'?

The use by beneficial soil microorganisms for their own benefit of nitrogen from large particle soil amendments is 'nitrogen drawdown'. Soil amendments are below ground conditioners that are either organic or mineral in their makeup. A popular form are wood chips.Unfortunately, wood chips are so large that they may open up and thereby dry the very soil for which they're supposed to improve movement of air and moisture. They also attract beneficial decomposers. The problem lies in the strong attraction that the microorganisms feel towards the nitrogen in the chips.Breakdown of the chips is supposed to release nitrogen and other nutrients into the soil. Unfortunately, the microorganisms may feed so much on the nitrogen that the soil becomes nitrogen deficient. Plants indicate the nitrogen deficient nature of such soil by turning yellow. The solution is nitrogen fertilizer treatments until the wood chips are broken down.


Why can we inhale nitrogen?

Like oxygen, we can also inhale nitrogen. Nitrogen is beneficial for health unless it's liquid nitrogen. Nitrogen helps us dissolve food waste to prevent deadly diseases from forming. The air we're breathing is mainly oxygen but sometimes we're inhaling nitrogen.
