This is a hard one - I confess that I would probably "google it". But here are some tips if you think it might be asked on an exam.

Explanation:

Start with a picture of the nitrogen cycle that may be in your text - see the example below...

1) try to re-draw the picture yourself a couple of times.

2) try to make up a story about the diagram...the plant started to use nitrogen, then the decomposers got in the act... and so on. The funnier your story the more likely you will remember it!

3) tell a friend your story and get them to quiz you on it.

4) try and draw it again
