I don't know what lasting effects sunflower plants have on the soil, but as an experiment, I put sunflower seeds and seed hulls from under the bird feeders in a compost pile, and none in another pile.  Every other ingredient/condition was the same...
You guessed it -- poor seed germination and plant growth with the sunflowers as a component of the compost.
Not a scientific study, just one spawned by curiosity.
