Volatilization of ammonia

Ammonia is ubiquitous in Nature, being formed from the biological degradation of proteins in soil organic matter, plant residues and animal wastes. Its presence is readily detectable near barns, stables and feedlots where plant and animal residues are concentrated but it is also formed in many other situations from less concentrated sources, e.g. in fields and forests (Lemon and Van Houtte 1980). It is constantly being formed in soils at rates which depend on the level of microbial activity and the susceptibility of organic N compounds to biological attack. It is also being added to soils in increasing amounts as fertilizer.
