What is eutrophication
Answers
Answer:
a process of too many plants growing on the surface of river, lake etc.often because chemicals that are used to help crop grow have been carried there by rain
Answer:
Explanation:
excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to run-off from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life.
eutrophication is when a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients which induce excessive growth of algae.This process may result in oxygen depletion of the water body. One example is an "algal bloom" or great increase of phytoplankton in a sandy body as a response to increased levels of nutrients. Eutrophication is often induced by the discharge of nitrate or phosphate-containing detergents, fertilizers, or sewage into an aquatic system. Some ecological effects of this are :-
1) Decreased biodiversity: due to development of one species then another species is affected.
2) New species invasion
3) Toxicity
