Pollution shifts the ecosystem towards more pollution tolerant plants and animals. These tougher animals can exist in low oxygen or toxic environments. You wind up with carp instead of trout, and sewage fungus instead of algae, leaches instead of worms.
in general the population of plants and animals may increase but the number of taxa represented decreases.
