Eutrophication is the epitome of "too much of a good thing". It happens when nature has an overabundance of nutrients. This overabundance makes everything in the ecosystem suffer.
Dostinction between eutrophication and artificial eutrophication
Eutrophication is where a body of water somehow acquires an excessive amount of nutrients and as a result, has a boom in biotic life. Eutrophication usually occurs because the Nitrogen-rich fertilizers are brought into the lake due to rain.
either diesel or gas
Natural eutrophication isn't as much of a problem as artificial eutrophication. Artificial eutrophication is caused by humans (fertilizer from farms, lawns, gardens, etc. pesticides, herbicides, road chemicals, etc) these chemicals cause eutrophication to happen much faster than it should. If eutrophication happens faster, algal blooms (large floating mats of algae) form. When algal blooms decay, the bacteria that decays it depletes the oxygen in the lake or pond and the fish die of suffocation.

eutrophication is of two types; natural and anthropogenic
eutrophication
Eutrophication can cause loss of oxygen in the water with severe reductions in fish and other animal populations. Other species may experience an increase in population that negatively affects other species in the local ecosystem.
