Nitrogen-races: An exciting journey

University of Thessaly

Νitrogen has been trapped in the atmosphere. WITHOUT IT LIFE ON EARTH IS IN DANGER! Plants and animals are unable to synthesize chlorophyll, DNA, proteins and they suffer. SOMEBODY SHOULD TAKE MATTERS IN HAND. Tiny allies and an ingenious giant help nitrogen escape. But how do they do this? And for what purpose? Which invisible heroes will undertake to rescue nitrogen using underground pathways? And how will this adventure end? Can anybody escape from this never-ending life cycle? Experience a grand tour of the nitrogen cycle for a few minutes and use imaginative ways to find all the answers.
