Nitrogen is a limiting plant nutrient because the bulk of the available nitrogen in the atmosphere is not usable by plants.

Plants are not able to make use of the nitrogen in the atmosphere directly. Atmospheric nitrogen needs to be converted into usable forms before it can be accessed by plants.

The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to usable form by plants is known as nitrogen fixation and this is achievable by the activities of certain bacteria.

Hello. It is not possible to access the website you are referring to, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Natural selection is the term created by Chales Darwin to compose a theory of biological evolution. According to this term, living beings that have characteristics favorable to their survival, in relation to the environment in which they live, are more likely to survive and pass these characteristics on to their descendants, while those that do not have these characteristics are more likely to die. .

An example of this can be seen in a population of lizards that live in environments with a lot of grass. According to natural selection, green colored lizards would have better advantages of surviving because they would be camouflaged in the grass and would not be seen by predators, unlike red lizards, which would be easily identified and captured by predators. therefore, the population of red lizards would decrease until it ceased to exist, while the population and green lizards would survive and generate other green lizards.
