Abstract/Summary

While vital for the survival of all organisms, nutrients can also pose a threat to aquatic life. Surplus nutrients from agriculture and sewage can cause excess growth of plant life and algae in a process called eutrophication. Eutrophication can have various damaging ecological impacts, including low DO, blocking light from the water column, and blooms of toxic blue-green algae.
