Question

Statement-1 : Eutrophication shows increase in productivity
in water.
Statement-2 : With increasing eutrophication, the diversity
of the phytoplankton increases.

Answer 1

The major influencing factors on water eutrophication include nutrient enrichment, hydrodynamics, environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, carbon dioxide, element balance, etc., and microbial and biodiversity.

These phosphates become detrimental when they over fertilize aquatic plants and cause stepped up eutrophication. Eutrophication is the natural aging process of a body of water such as a bay or lake. This process results from the increase of nutrients within the body of water which, in turn, create plant growth.
