The hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide is mediated by the enzyme urease produced by soil bacteria... some of which can use the CO2 released during hydrolysis as a C source to build biomass.
AFAIK ammonia is not an option for direct application as a fertilizer in the UK, but urea can be used as a source of ammonium.
