This nitrogen also bears the isotopic fingerprint of nitrogen derived through the inorganic processes of fertiliser manufacture and fossil fuel burning, and not of the way microbes do it.

This is one of the merits in such an all-inorganic system while some conventional systems cannot follow the light power in general because of their internal or external rate-limiting processes in the complex structures.
For relatively poor countries with insufficient organic and inorganic deposits in their soils, the phytochemistry and the chemistry of natural products offer a chance to develop a sound economy based on knowledge with high added value.
The general goal of this workshop is a focused review and adoption of a minimum set of QC procedures and QC flags starting with in situ dissolved inorganic nutrients (phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, and silicate) and dissolved oxygen.
In my discipline, for example, each school differs slightly on how to teach general chemistry, varies in where inorganic chemistry is placed in the plan of study, and has different laboratory equipment and thus varying lab curricula, etc.
