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.
  2. Increased ozone levels slow plant growth.

Increased carbon dioxide levels can enhance plant growth, and while warmer temperatures can support certain plant growth, they can also lead to stress in others, so these statements are not universally true. Nitrogen dioxide can contribute to issues like acid rain rather than providing nutrients.
