If we all turned vegetarian....

[None of the above]

Well there is a more than intelligent response to this question... Thank god... A rarity for um.

Yes.. The ecology of the earth would change.. Dramatically.,... But only bear in mind that our vegan brothers and sisters could not presue their lifestyle without modern economy's full of meat lovers.

Think about that for a half an hour. But you might need a little education on the nutritional needs of humans an the environments they get them from.

Hi Seeker.

In as far as the organic matter in it, very much a problem, as far as the chemistry it is not. And as is shown in places where mostly artificial fertilizers are used, the ground looses its water accumulating potential and its break down strength of harmful substances.

The "Natural" way to sow is to eat a fruit, poop out the undigested seeds and out of that mass new plants grow.

which is exactly why they germinate best when past through a digestive track.... right.

That is the same as saying cannibalism works fine. Well it does not because certain lipids and vitamins are transformed by the eaten organism rendering them useless for the next consumer. Same with plants, there will be transformed minerals and so on that the next generation plant will not be able to absorb for lack of them.

The ecosystem is a big interdependent circle, the bird eats the worm, the worm the dead bird and the grass the excrement of both of them. Whatever you take out will create an imbalance over time, even if it can continue rachitic for a while.
