Cultural eutrophication is an increase in biological productivity and ecosystem succession caused by human activity. It is mainly caused by increased nutrient input into a water body. Increased productivity in an aquatic system sometimes can be beneficial. Fish and other desirable species may grow faster, providing a welcome food source. Eurtophicate produces blooms of algae or thick growths of aquatic plants stimulated by elevated phophorus or nitrogen levels. The water then becomes cloudy and faul smelling and can accelerate the aging in a body of water.

What if too much nitrogen enters an aquatic ecosystem?
eutrophication
How is eutrophication related with symbiosis?
Eutrophication is not directly related with symbiosis since it involves the excessive amounts of phosphates and nitrates.
How do Humans contribute to eutrophication?
Eutrophication is the excessive richness of nutrients in a body of water. This leads to an unhealthy growth of plants and the death of marine animals due to lack of oxygen. Farming and the use of too much fertilizers can contribute to eutrophication.
What chemical equation does eutrophication have?
Baal chir
What is the difference between natural and artificial eutrophication?
No answer
What is the usual cause of cultural eutrophication in surface waters of both developed and developing countries?
lucia the evil one
What is distinction between eutrophication and artificial eutrophication?
Dostinction between eutrophication and artificial eutrophication
What is the difference between natural and cultural eutrophication?
Eutrophication is having waters prosperous in mineral as well as organic nutrients that promote a proliferation of plant life, especially algae, which reduces the dissolved oxygen substance and frequently causes the extinction of other organisms.
Under what conditions might sediment in water or cultural eutrophication be beneficial?
Eutrophication is an increase in the concentration of chemical nutrients in an ecosystem to an extent that increases the primary productivity of the ecosystem. Depending on the degree of eutrophication, subsequent negative environmental effects such as anoxia and severe reductions in water quality, fish, and other animal populations may occur. Cultural eutrophication refers to such problems when caused by man's everyday activities. The eutrophication of the Potomac River would be an example. Most people worry about contaminated sediments in water. However, natural sediments form by weathering of rock. They then erode from the site of weathering and are transported by wind, water or ice operating under the influence of gravity. This is a normal ongoing process and not detrimental to ecosystems.
Which is the lake destroyed by Eutrophication in South India?

What are two types of eutrophication?
eutrophication is of two types; natural and anthropogenic
One danger of excessive nitrogen levels in water is?

What if too much nitrogen enters an aquatic ecosystem?

What Eutrophication is the result of .?
No
How can eutrophication prevent?
we can prevent this by decreasing the use of fertilizer in plants. Excess use of fertilizer can lead to eutrophication.
Why is eutrophication bad?
Natural eutrophication isn't as much of a problem as artificial eutrophication. Artificial eutrophication is caused by humans (fertilizer from farms, lawns, gardens, etc. pesticides, herbicides, road chemicals, etc) these chemicals cause eutrophication to happen much faster than it should. If eutrophication happens faster, algal blooms (large floating mats of algae) form. When algal blooms decay, the bacteria that decays it depletes the oxygen in the lake or pond and the fish die of suffocation.
