Definition of Eutrophication:
(1) An increase in the supply of organic matter.[1]
(2) A condition in an aquatic ecosystem where high nutrient concentrations stimulate growth of algae which leads to imbalanced functioning of the system.[2] This is the common definition for Eutrophication, other definitions can be discussed in the article
|
Notes
High primary production boosted by eutrophication usually leads to oxygen depletion caused by decay of organic matter.
