Sentences with phrase «nitrogen out of the atmosphere»

The great benefit is that legumes contribute to cropping systems; they can help take nitrogen out of the atmosphere and make it available in the soil.

Their theory is more nitrogen, people take nitrogen out of the atmosphere and cooling the planet.

Now we are demonstrating the generality of it by having another type of bacteria take nitrogen out of the atmosphere to make fertilizer.»

Not exact matches

We have no real idea what the atmosphere of Proxima b is made of, but for the sake of argument the researchers tried out an atmosphere like Earth's as well as a simpler one — mostly nitrogen with a dash of carbon dioxide.

To do this, the team first pumped all the oxygen out of the chamber, and instead filled it with inert nitrogen or carbon dioxide — the most common components of the Martian atmosphere.

For example, they revealed that the west side of Pluto's «heart» is rich in carbon - monoxide ice, unlike the rest of the dwarf planet, and they announced that the probe had detected Pluto's thin, nitrogen - dominated atmosphere out to a distance of 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from the surface.

I'm still holding out for the news that reads: «Second Earth Found» -[this exoplanet] will have all the right ingredients: orbit its star inside the habitable zone, spectroscopic analysis will reveal a nitrogen - rich atmosphere, evidence of water, roughly the same mass as our planet and it will belong in a system with a couple of gas giants shepherding the outer system.

Exploiting habitats that are often or mostly out of water required new symbiotic relationships to contain and move water, including the fusion of some fungi and algae to create lichen in communities with bacteria that survive extreme desiccation on land while breaking down rock into soil, and the association of mycorrhizae fungi and the root tissue of new vascular plants — culminating in trees that pump water high into the air — to exchange mineral nutrients (e.g., phosphorus) and usable «fixed» nitrogen from the atmosphere for photosynthetic products.

However, most of the surface features unveiled by Hubble, including the prominent northern polar cap, are likely produced by the complex distribution of frosts that migrate across Pluto's surface with its orbital and seasonal cycles and chemical byproducts deposited out of Pluto's nitrogen - methane atmosphere.

Now, if you have all this very cold, nearly freezing water surrounding these ice caps, sucking up carbon dioxide out of the polar atmosphere, at nearly the highest possible rate, 30 times faster than oxygen, and 70 times faster than nitrogen, doesn't it stand to reason that the air that remains might just have a lot less carbon dioxide in it than the atmosphere across the rest of the planet?

But of course, when it's pointed out that not all absorption of electromagnetic radiation creates heat, for example in photosynthesis when it converts to chemical energy and not heat energy and in the atmosphere where absorption of visible light by the electrons of the molecules of nitrogen and oxygen which spit out the same non-thermal energy that went in, this is ignored.

Ecologist Kenneth Watt told Time that, at «the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it's only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.»
