The two correct answers regarding how changes in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels affect plant life are:

  1. Acid rain removes nutrients from soil. - Acid rain can harm soil health by leaching essential nutrients, making them less available for plants.

  2. Increased ozone levels slow plant growth. - Ground-level ozone is a pollutant that can negatively affect plant health and growth by interfering with photosynthesis.

The other statements about increased nitrogen dioxide providing nutrients, warmer temperatures supporting plant growth, and increased carbon dioxide levels slowing plant growth are not accurate in the context of the negative impacts of burning fossil fuels on plant life.
