Accumulation of organic matter.
"Eutrophication occurs when fertilizers, animal waste, sewage, or other substance rich in nitrogen and phosphorus flow into waterways, causing extensive algae growth. The algae use up the oxygen supply during their rapid growth and after their deaths during the decaying process"
What else can I help you with?
How does an oligotrophic lake become eutrophic?
Add nutrients (phosphorus, nitrogen, etc.)
What is the difference between an oligotrophic and a eutrophic lake?
eutrotrophic
What happens to the oxygen in a eutrophic lake?
it decreases due to decay of plant and animal material
A lake in which minerals are scarce is profundal oligotrophic eutrophic benthic pelagic?
Found it. Its oligotrophic.
What is the range of pH in oligotrophic lake and eutrophic lake?
Well this answers part ofthe Q. I did an experiment at uni that produced an oli. We had a final pH of about 8.2 ish
Is lake Michigan a mesotrophic lake?
I want to say yes. Lake Michigan is not Oligotrophic like Lake George in New York. It isn't Eutrophic or Hypereutrophic which are characterized by high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus and low levels of oxygen near the bottom of the lake.
Fish found in eutrophic waters?
Some common fish that can be found in eutrophic waters include carp, bullhead catfish, and bluegill. These fish are more tolerant of the lower oxygen levels and higher nutrient concentrations typically found in eutrophic environments. However, eutrophic conditions can lead to algal blooms that may be harmful to fish populations in the long term.
Are all plantlike protists always eutrophic?
No, not all plantlike protists are eutrophic. Eutrophication refers to an excess of nutrients in the environment, which can lead to algal blooms. Plantlike protists can be found in various types of habitats, not just eutrophic ones.
What type of lake is rich in organic matter and vegetation but is oxygen poor?
A eutrophic lake is rich in organic matter and vegetation, leading to poor oxygen levels due to decomposition processes. This can result in algal blooms and a decrease in biodiversity as oxygen levels decline.
What is the difference between an oligotrophic and eutrophic environment?
Oligotrophic refers generally to ecosystems which have very little nutrients to sustain life. These can be very salty lakes or soils with a very low nitrogen content.An oligotrophic lake is that with plenty of oxygen but deficient of nutrients for plant growth.
What are the importance of oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes?
someone please answer this
Are all plantlike protists are always eutrophic?
Yes, all plant like protists are always eutrophic. This includes diatoms, and dinoflagellates. This is because they are all part of the algae family.
