Very much so. Excess phosphorus causes rampant weed growth, which completely changes the natural balance of the waterway. In short, it "ages" the lake or pond rapidly.

How the excess use of fertilizer affects the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorus cycle?
An aquatic ecosystem or nearby waterway causes rapid and overabundant growth of algae.
Why is phosphorous a limiting factor in many ecosystems?
It's not really...While phosphorous is an essential plant nutrient, very, very small amounts are needed by plants to grow. The introduction of phosphorous to cleaning agents like detergents, soaps and shampoos have introduced phosphorous into the natural landscape, usually in excess. Many ecosystems, like the Chesapeake Bay, suffer from nutrient pollution (nitrogen and phosphorous), which results in algal blooms and eutrophication.
What is purified steel?
Steel is an alloy, not a purified metal; but sometimes the excess of phosphorous, sulfur, carbon etc. in the melt need to be deleted.
What is the contractile vacuoles physiological function in cells?
They are found in aquatic protists.They remove excess water.
What is the function of the contractible vacuole in the Euglena?
Contractile vacuoles are found in aquatic protists.They remove excess water.

What is the primary effect of excess phosphorus in the aquatic environment called?
The primary effect of excess phosphorus in the aquatic environment is called eutrophication. Phosphorus is one of several nutrients needed for plant growth. Excess amounts of nutrients however leads to excess plant growth and as these, at times huge amounts of plants die, oxygen is taken out of the water by bacteria during the decomposition process that can lead to eutrophic conditions where the dissolved oxygen is too low to support aquatic organisms.

Are eating to many altoids harmful?
Eating too much of anything is harmful. One can even get 'water poisoning' from drinking too much water. Nothing eaten, done or taken in excess is good. That's why the word 'excess' exists.
