Eutrophication
As aquatic matter dies and settles in the pond, the microbes use up the oxygen as they decay.
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 the build up or pile up of all sorts of nutrients. Which is phosphates and nitrates(waste) of animals. Eutrophication can change the pond by making it healthier because a lot of animals keep feeding off of it while it keeps reproducing itself.
When there are excess nitrates and phosphates in a pond, it can lead to eutrophication. This causes an overgrowth of algae and aquatic plants, depleting oxygen levels and ultimately suffocating other organisms in the pond. It disrupts the ecosystem balance and can lead to fish kills and biodiversity loss.
destruction of eutrophication
A stable pond ecosystem would not contain excessive nutrient runoff from surrounding agricultural fields, as it can lead to eutrophication and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem.
eutrophication
eutrophication is of two types; natural and anthropogenic
how can eutrophication change a lake over time
Eutrophication is the natural process of nutrient accumulation in bodies of water, leading to increased plant growth and decreased oxygen levels. Artificial eutrophication is the accelerated accumulation of nutrients in water bodies due to human activities such as agriculture runoff or sewage discharge, causing rapid algae growth and disrupting the ecosystem balance.
