Nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted into nitrogen in the soil by a process called nitrogen fixation, which is carried out by a number of different types of bacteria.
Some of these bacteria grow on the roots of certain plants, such as clover, alfalfa, and peanuts, and provide nitrogen to the plant and the soil.

Lightning also causes some atmospheric nitrogen to be converted into oxides of nitrogen. These dissolve in rain water and are brought to the ground in the rain.
