No, a deprived ecosystem of nutrients is generally not a benefit.
Ecosystems rely on a complex web of interactions between different organisms and their environment, and nutrients are crucial building blocks for life in any ecosystem. Depriving an ecosystem of nutrients can have a variety of negative consequences, including:
Reduced plant growth and productivity: Plants need nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to grow and photosynthesize. Without these nutrients, plant growth will be stunted, leading to a decrease in overall biomass and productivity of the ecosystem.
Starvation of herbivores and detritivores: Herbivores rely on plants for food, and detritivores rely on dead plant matter for their energy. If there are fewer plants or less organic matter available due to nutrient deprivation, both herbivores and detritivores will struggle to survive.
