Answer:
A. Lightning
Explanation:
Nitrogen is very fundamental for a wide range of life activities in both plant and animals.
Lightning which accompanies thunder during rain storm and other weather phenomenon aids the release of atmospheric nitrogen for life processes. The energy that accompanies a lightning event is mostly electrical in nature. This electrical energy is huge and very massive. As the lightning interacts with free nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere, the molecule is broken down. The free nitrogen which results then combines with oxygen in the atmossphere to form oxides of nitrogen. When oxides of non-metals dissolves in rain water, they make the water rich in nitric acid and can be brought to the biosphere for use by plant and animals.
Answer:
D) how sunlight intensity affects plant community composition in the zone where a forest transitions into a meadow
Explanation:
Microclimate is the climate only in a small area within a bigger area. Or the climate of a specific section that is different from its surrounding areas.
The example above, is considered a study on microcliimate because the study is limited to only the "zone" where a forest transitions into a meadow and it does not consider the climate of the surroundings of that zone.
The other options are more broad, but the last one is more specific in terms of the location.
