All life forms in that community would go extinct, because they wouldn't be able to get any fixed nitrogen.

What will happen if nitrogen fixation does not take place?
if nitrogen fixation does not take place nitrates will not be taken if nitrates are not there so there is no photosynthesis so it metaboills and if photosynthesis is not there so there is no life thats what nitrogen fixation not allows in nitrogen cycle
How are the process of nitrogen fixation and denitrification different?
nitrification= it is the conversion of ammonia first into nitrites then into nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. dentrification=it is the conversion of nitrites and nitrates into free nitrogen.
What processes happen to gaseous nitrogen before plants can use it to grow?
Fixation
what process must happen to gaseous nitrogen plants can use it to grow?
Fixation
What must happen for plants to use nitrogen in the atmosphere?
Fixation
What plants must happen to gaseous nitrogen before plants can use it to grow?
Fixation
How is nitrogen in the atmosphere converted to nitrogen in the soil?
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted to nitrogen in the soil through a process called nitrogen fixation. This can happen through biological processes, where certain bacteria in the soil or in the roots of leguminous plants convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. This fixed nitrogen is essential for plant growth and soil fertility.
What must happen for pure nitrogen in the air to be able to be used by plants?
Nitrogen in the air must be converted into a plant-usable form such as nitrate (NO3-) or ammonium (NH4+). This conversion process is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil, which can either symbiotically associate with plant roots or exist freely in the soil. Plants can then absorb these converted forms of nitrogen from the soil to support their growth and development.
What if bacteria lost the ability to fix nitrogen?
Everybody would die. However, this is not likely to happen.
What would happen if we rid the world of bacteria?
If we were to completely eliminate all bacteria from the world, ecosystems would collapse as they play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and decomposition. Additionally, humans and other animals rely on certain bacteria for digestion and immune system function. Overall, the absence of bacteria would have severe and widespread negative consequences on life on Earth.
