What is happening to the nutrients in a compost pile?

How can a compost pile improve the soil of a garden?
Provision of macro- and micro-nutrients and of macro- and micro-organisms are ways that compost piles improve garden soils. Macro- and micro-nutrients can be deficient, excessive or present but inaccessible or unavailable if the form is not soluble whereas air and water pore spaces may be absent or sparse without the tunneling activities of macro-organisms. Compost piles promote ecosystems that have the air, moisture and nutrients that soil food web members, such as plant roots, and soils need through their incorporation of living and once-living animal and plant matter.
Micro to macro processes in an ecosystem?
Micro processes in an ecosystem include individual interactions like predation, competition, and decomposition, while macro processes involve the flow of energy and nutrients through the entire ecosystem. Examples of macro processes are photosynthesis, nutrient cycling, and the movement of energy through food webs. Both micro and macro processes are essential for maintaining the balance and functioning of an ecosystem.

What nutrients are missing from commercially grown food?
There is no general answer to this question. Some foods are heavily refined, which removes nutrients from them. Some examples are flours, breads made from refined flour, white sugar, white rice, etc. Other foods may have been grown in soil which does not contain all the nutrients and macro-nutrients, so those foods would be lacking in nutrients. It really depends on how much processing has been done on the food, whether high heat has been used on it, the soil it was grown in, etc.
