It would not be a good place for plants to grow because bacteria undergo a process called nitrogen fixation, producing compounds that help plants grow

Some bacteria and fungus actually directly feed plants in exchange for food the plant provides. Fungus can even extend the roots of the plants, growing from the tips out, further into the soil helping the plant find more water and nutrients.

Hope this helps:)
