it is the "bloom" or great increase of phytoplankton in a water body. Negative environmental effects include hypoxia, the depletion of oxygen in the water, which induces reductions in specific fish and other animal populations. Other species (such as Nomura's jellyfish in Japanese waters) may experience an increase in population that negatively affects other species.

How do Humans contribute to eutrophication?
Eutrophication is the excessive richness of nutrients in a body of water. This leads to an unhealthy growth of plants and the death of marine animals due to lack of oxygen. Farming and the use of too much fertilizers can contribute to eutrophication.
What eutrophication and what are the steps that cause it to happen?
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.
One danger of excessive nitrogen levels in water is?
eutrophication
Why Egypt has staeted with afforestation?
