nitrified
Converted to nitrates
Nitrified describes something that has undergone nitrification—a process where nitrogen compounds are converted into nitrates, typically by bacterial action in soil.
The term appears most often in agricultural and environmental contexts: nitrified soil, nitrified wastewater.
Nitrogen-rich organic matter becomes nitrified as it decomposes, making nutrients available to plants.
