What can you do to reduce the amount of nitrogen in the soil?
Watering thoroughly should help. But you want to be careful, because too much watering will kill the plant, just as too much nitrogen will.
What are the effects of too much nitrogen in a body of water?
Nitrogen has no effect on water although it can be dissolved. Nitrogen is not hazardous in itself, and in water is not dangerous. However as your body has no use for it when breathed, it can asphyxiate. But in water it has no effect on large biological organisms. High nitrogen content can cause algal blooms in surface areas of water. However, nitrogen can be processed into nitrates by bacteria which can kill fish. Excess nitrogen is removed by humans through urea.
What does nitrogen do to ponds?
Nitrogen takes up oxogen in fresh bodies of water. If there is too much Nitrogen, it can kill a fresh body of water such as a pond. A sustainable amount of Nitrogen would be 1-100ppm (parts per million). Anything above 100ppm is unhealthy. Anything above 200ppm can destroy an entire ecosystem. Hope this was helpful!
Can liquid nitrogen kill you?

How excess nitrogen from agriculture can kill fish?
It is bad for them.
Will liquid nitrogen kill bedbugs?
i think so doesnt it kill just about every thing?
Describe how excess nitrogen from agriculture can kill fish?
Excess nitrogen from agriculture means using the inorganic feritilizers. These fertilizers deposit the nitrogen into the soil and overtime the soil decomposes the nitrogen, converting it into gaseous nitrogen which is then returned to the air. This eventually creates a big acid cloud which will give birth to acid rain. Acid rain will fall in the waters containing fish and then kill them.
Is liquid nitrogen poisonous?
Nitrogen is an inert element so it is not poisonous, However Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold and should you some how manage to drink a sizable amount of it it would kill you.
Does liquid nitrogen kill germs?
Certainly will do. It's very cold! Is it around -80C?

What causes dog urine to kill grass?

What is a major component in acid rain?
SulphuR dioxide or nitrogen dioxide...this can kill fish by making lakes acidic!
