Answer

Brief Explanations:

Nitrogen atoms cycle between living organisms and the non - living environment. If not in a living organism, they are in the non - living part of the environment. Landfills are a small part of the non - living environment. Nitrogen is abundant in the universe (e.g., in stars during formation). The Earth's core has very little nitrogen compared to the atmosphere and other non - living environmental components.

Answer:

in the nonliving portion of the environment
