Why is soil very fertile in areas where there is lightning and thunder?

Not really. A lightning strike only superheats the soil in the area of penetration (and can form a fulgurite). From there, the charges "equalize out" by moving in all directions away from there. Certainly there will be some chemical action in the vicinity of "ground zero" for the bolt, but the chemical action is just about exactly what you'd expect you'd get buy digging up a big shovel full of the dirt from there and sticking it in a furnace for half an hour. Lightning's effect on the ground can usually be detected after a strike, but an increase in the fertility of the soil isn't an effect of the passage of many amps of current through the dirt.

How is nitrogen cycle?

when nitrogen go from soil to back in atmosphere due to nitrogen fixing bacteria then it again return to soil due to lightning, dead animals, roots of plants and by other ways. and again go to atmosphere in this way nitrogen cycled.
