A decrease or an increase may be the effect that plants have on soil fertility. For example, coffee and cotton are known to be very demanding of soils. Specifically, they don't replace the nutrients that they remove from soil. In contrast, plants such as beans and peas are good for soil fertility. They return nutrients to the soil, which is not left in the exhausted state that coffee and cotton leaves it in. Specifically, they have nitrogen-fixing roots that put nitrogen back into the soil in soluble form. That's the form that nitrogen needs to be in to be used by members of the underground soil food web and by plant roots.
