- Bacteria and fungi in the soil brake down (decompose) the dead plants and animals
- The nitrogen in the dead plants and animals, urea and egested materials is broken down and returned to the soil as Ammonia
- The nitrogen is converted into nitrates which are taken up by the roots of plants
- Nitrogen in the proteins making up the bodies of plants
- The nitrates are transferred to animals by feeding
- Nitrogen in the proteins making up the bodies of animals
- Excretion of urea
