You understand that every living organism requires nutrients to survive? You understand that when that organism dies that there is a tremendous amount of nutrients that are left there to decompose? To trivialize this concept in the way that you are would suggest that it's a little above your pay grade.
There are a number of different methods of providing nutrients to a plant. Everything from a manufactured dry granular or a liquid that may or may not have a mechanism to tie up the nutrients for a slower release, requiring less fertilizer, to natural fertilizers such as manure, chicken/turkey litter, or even liquefied fish guts. Each of these having vastly different environmental effects. To assume that this is accounted for is absurd.
In a positive note, if you keep digging yourself a hole here, you'll have better first hand experience on how nutrients work.
