We're all aware of how destructive lightning can be - DEHN are a business built on this very principle. But what if we told you lightning could actually be beneficial for plant life? Most tend to think of tree's being burnt to a crisp as a result of a strike, with the ensuing possibility of fires and other harmful consequences, however the extreme heat of a lightning strike results in nitrogen - vital for plant growth - bonding with oxygen.
This combination creates nitrogen oxides, which combine with moisture in the air and fall as nitrate-rich water when it rains. Plants absorb this through a process called Nitrogen fixation, helping them to grow!
