nitrificationn.

Brit.

/ˌnʌɪtrᵻfᵻˈkeɪʃn/, U.S.

/ˌnaɪtrəfəˈkeɪʃ(ə)n/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French nitrification.

Etymology: < French nitrification (P. Thouvenel Climat d'Italie (1797) IV. 189) < nitrifier nitrify v. (see -fication suffix). Compare Italian nitrificazione (1834).

a. Chemistry and Biology. The process of nitrifying; the production of, or conversion of a substance into, nitre or nitrates; spec. the process by which certain soil bacteria oxidize ammonia in decomposing material into nitrates.

1827 Philos. Mag. 2nd Ser. 1 177 Tufa, chalk and nitrifiable materials act in nitrification both as absorbents of water and air, and as presenting a base which solicits the formation of nitric acid.

1897 Bull. Minnesota Agric. Exper. Station No. 53. 7 The cultivation of the corn crop favors nitrification (production of nitrates from humus) and results in leaving more available nitrogen in the soil.
