What if...

If we use all the bio waste such as dead grass, leaves, dead wood, etc for fuel making, would that mean there would nothing for the soil to replenish itself on? Doesn't soil get nutrients from dead and dying biomass? If we suddenly take all of this to make fuel, would we be hurting ourselves in a different way?

Just asking.
