Bacteria that exist in the root nodules of some plants can absorb nitrogen from the air in the soil. One notable example is the Rhizobia that lives in nodules on soybean roots. Similar root systems exist in clover and alfalfa.
Lightning increases nitrogen in the soil
nitrogen in the soil is used by both plants and animals.

Are you on about the Nitrogen cycle? If this is the case, Nitrogen can be transferred into the soil from animal deification, or Nitrogen ions can be transferred through a lightening storm and rain drops.
Free nitrogen is in the air but fixed nitrogen is in the soil.
OK well free nitrogen is fixed by bacteria that live in the soil. some bacteria live in nodules, or bumps , on certain plant roots. the bacteria get food from the plants, and plants absorb fixed nitrogen from the bacteria. animals get nitrogen by eating plants or by eating prey that have eaten plants. fixed nitrogen may enter the soil in other ways too. a small amount of free nitrogen in the air by lighting. it is carried to the ground by rainfall. fixed nitrogen also enters the soil because of decomposers. decomposers break down dead organisms, and fixed nitrogen is released in the soil. the fixed nitrogen can be absorbed by plant roots.
It has to be fixed by things in the soil called nodules, so it can be a form that plants can use in order to get protein to perform photosynthesis.
Nitrogen fixing bacteria that live in root nodules of members of the legume family of plants. Some Nitrogen is also fixed during lightning strikes.
Nitrogen is the most common one.
by specialized micro-organisms like bacteria, actinomycetes, and cyanobacteria.
Yes, soil does contain nitrogen.
Nitrogen is fixed
All life forms need nitrogen to grow. Animals can get it from eating plants. But plants must get it from the soil. Fixed nitrogen (in the forms of nitrate ions - NO3-) is the only type of nitrogen that can be found in the soil.Note that nitrogen (as a gas - N2) makes up most of the air. Most plants can not use it because the molecules are triple-bonded.
Lightning increases nitrogen in the soil
It doesn't. Harvesting removes soil nitrogen
nitrogen in the soil is used by both plants and animals.
