Near water runoffs, streams, and flooded areas. I live in the dirt
How could the widespread misuse of the fertilizer lead to an imbalance in thr oxygen cycle?
it could wash into the river or streams which can cause dramatic effects.
Where does most runoff eventually end up?
I KNOW that runoffs eventually go to rivers,streams, and then it goes to the ocean so the answer is OCEAN
Five effects of urbanization on creeks or streams?

Is a fertilizer a pollutant?
Yes, fertilizer can be a pollutant.Specifically, fertilizer becomes a pollutant in terms of water. Excess applications can run off in rain events. They end up in streams where they cause nitrogen blooms.

Where can you find wild fiddle heads in NH?

Why is it important to have a reference stream if you want to gauge the effects of Homo Sapiens on streams?
Having a reference stream is important because it provides a baseline or control group against which you can compare the impact of Homo sapiens on other streams. By studying and monitoring both the reference stream and impacted streams, scientists can better understand the specific effects of human activities on aquatic ecosystems and implement targeted conservation strategies. This comparison helps to differentiate between natural ecological changes and those caused by human interference.
How you combat eutrophication?
Eutrophication is the overgrowth of algae in lakes and ponds that is usually caused by the introduction of different chemicals into the water from fertilizer run-off.

How do nitrates used in fertilizer make their way into bodies of water like lakes and streams?
