Eutrophication - Causes, Effects And Possible Solutions.
This study is about the process of eutrophication. This is the gradual increase in the concentration of phosphorous, nitrogen and other plant nutrients in an aging aquatic system, such as a lake, river or shallow sea. When the body of water becomes excessively enriched with nutrients, such as nitrate fertilizers and phosphates, algae and bacteria develops. In turn, this uses extra oxygen in the water, which tends to make it uninhabitable by other animal life. This essay will begin by discussing what eutrophication is and what causes it. It will list some examples and suggest ways that eutrophication can be reversed or halted. 6 pgs. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
