Organisms would not be able to get the nutrients they need to make proteins.
The disappearance of nitrogen-fixing prokaryotes would lead to a significant decline in soil nitrogen levels, severely impacting plant growth and agricultural productivity. Many plants rely on nitrogen compounds produced by these microorganisms for their nutritional needs. This would disrupt ecosystems, as herbivores would face food shortages, ultimately affecting higher trophic levels and biodiversity. Additionally, the reliance on synthetic fertilizers would increase, further straining environmental resources.
Plants couldn't make ammonia, so they would lack nitrogen, which is a component of proteins and nucleic acid. Since every species in the food chain ultimately gets their nitrogen from nitrogen fixation, they'd either have to find a new way of getting nitrogen or find a way of making nucleic acids and protein without it. The only alternative is extinction.
What would be a direct consequence of what the British most hoped to achieve with the navigation acts?
not as a direct consequence
One direct outcome of the nitrogen cycle is the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use for growth. This process, called nitrogen fixation, is essential for plant productivity and ecosystem health.
