Interesting. This is somewhat parallel to the view that much superphosphate
goes to waste as it is not necessarily useful for all the situations whee it
is used.

I wonder why they authors do not advance a mechanism for why excesive use of
nitrogenous fertiliser depletes organic carbon in soils.

It was probably from James Watt, a religion nutcase whose idea of ecological
conservation was to loot the environment for all it was worth while waiting
for the second coming of jeezuz.

The statement went along the lines that a forest rotting produced as much
polution as one being burned. Clear the idiot didn't understand that forests
take carbon from the air while growing and that it isn't cumulative.

Don't get me started on James Watt and his "Sage Brush Rebellion". "Sage
Brush Rip Off" would be appropriate. The Department of the Interior sold
the country's mineral resources off at pennies on the dollar. Grrrrr
