Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mineralization is the process by which organic matter is broken down into inorganic nutrients, whereas immobilization is the process by which nutrients are incorporated into organic matter, making them unavailable for plant uptake. Nitrification, denitrification, and ammonification are all processes involved in the nitrogen cycle, but they are not opposite to mineralization.
