Hi Butch

Will there be a "build up in the soil". Try "built in" it is in the
biology as part of their structure/membranes so it will not necessarily
"leach" out unless they die and are not eaten them selves by other
organisms. Whole food web. In a healthy soil food web the only run off
(nitrogen, "bacteria") in a non major event (land slide resulting from
forest fires, earthquakes) would be sourced from mammals/reptiles
dyeing in proximity to water courses/ways where insufficient scavengers
failed to reduce the proteins/nitrogen/carbons leaving only the
bones/calcium (picked clean in the classical expression).
