Abstract: This research aims to understand the influence of lightning strikes on the nitrogen content in the soil around trees exposed to lightning. The study uses the Kjeldahl method to analyze the nitrogen content in soil samples collected from areas with high-intensity and low-intensity lightning strikes. The results indicate that the highest nitrogen content was found in the topsoil of areas exposed to high-intensity lightning, with a value of 0.3111%, which is significantly higher than the nitrogen content in areas exposed to low-intensity lightning, which had a value of 0.127%. Additionally, the nitrogen content of the topsoil is much higher than that of the subsoil. In areas with high-intensity lightning exposure, the highest nitrogen content was observed at a distance of 5 m to the south, at 0.257%. In contrast, in areas with low-intensity lightning exposure, the highest nitrogen content was also observed at a distance of 5 m to the south, at 0.187%. The nitrogen concentration varies with distance from the point of impact, following a consistent pattern, the nitrogen content decreases as the distance from the center of the lightning strike increases.
