ammonification
This term is a specialized technical word used primarily in soil science, microbiology, and ecology. It describes a specific stage of the nitrogen cycle, distinguishing it from nitrification and denitrification. Because it refers to a biochemical process, it is used in a formal, scientific register and is rarely encountered in general conversation.
As a mass noun representing a biological process, it is treated as uncountable. It does not have a plural form in standard scientific usage, as it refers to the general phenomenon of conversion rather than individual instances of the process.
