Eutrophication: Causes, Ecological Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies

Eutrophication is a process by which bodies of water become overly enriched with nutrients, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), leading to excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants. While nutrient enrichment can occur naturally, human activities such as agriculture, industrial processes, and wastewater discharge have dramatically accelerated the rate of eutrophication in freshwater […]
