Doesn’t the biomass get dumped into the soil in a different place? You grow something, pick it, ship to a different country.

At a minimum, the roots are left in the soil.

Normally other parts of the crop are left in the field too, like leaves and stems and whatever else doesn't sell.

Not to forget that nowadays plants are optimized for high yield. I’d imagine the fruit/stem biomass ratio is becoming higher.
