If by "other forms" you are referring to organic nutrients?
I put them in three categories
fast or immediate release, like urine, bat guanos, blood meal (to a degree), seabird guanos, etc.
medium release, neem meal, alfalfa meal, manures.
slow release, hair, feather meal, crab meal, grass clippings, shrimp meal (to a degree)
I have no clue what "Am Nitrogen" is

"Soil nitrogen exists in three general forms: organic nitrogen compounds, ammonium (NH4+) ions and nitrate (NO3-) ions."

http://www.cropnutrition.com/efu-nitrogen#soil-nitrogen

"
Bacteria such as Rhizobia that infect (nodulate) the roots of, and receive much food energy

from, legume plants can fix much more nitrogen per year (some well over 100 lb nitrogen/acre). When the quantity of nitrogen fixed by Rhizobia exceeds that needed by the microbes themselves, it is released for use by the host legume plant. This is why well-nodulated legumes do not often respond to additions of nitrogen fertilizer. They are already receiving enough from the bacteria."

Check the graphic in this article showing the different sources of nitrogen for application to plants.

Urea is not urine.

Go research that please and come back.
It's the urea content of urine that makes it useful.
After about 24 hrs it turns to ammonia, which isn't as useful.
I hang out with a bunch of hippy homesteaders man.. it's their WORLD.

Once again,it's the UREA content of urine that makes it useful.
And NO people don't piss pure urea.
