How do carnivorous survive with low levels of nitrate ions?

Carnivorous plants have adapted to survive in nutrient-poor environments, particularly where nitrate ions are scarce, by evolving mechanisms to capture and digest prey, such as insects. They obtain nitrogen and other essential nutrients from the breakdown of their prey instead of relying on the soil for nutrients. This adaptation allows them to thrive in habitats where other plants may struggle due to low nutrient availability. Their specialized structures, like traps and digestive enzymes, enable efficient nutrient absorption from their captured prey.

Why cannot other plants survive near carnivorous plants?

Non-carnivorous plants can live near carnivorous one. Carnivorous plants don't eat other plants or anything like that. What you might be referring to is the fact that carnivorous plants tend to grow in certain environments that many other plants couldn't survive in. Specifically, they grow in areas with soils that have very little nutrients. Carnivorous plants can live there because they can get the nutrients they need from their prey rather than from the soil. There are other plants that are adapted to those types of ecosystems is other ways (non-carnivorous ways), and those plants can live alongside carnivorous plants. Most plants can't live in those environments, though.
