Which body of water is more sensitive to the effects of fertilizer runoff?
Freshwater bodies like lakes and streams are generally more sensitive to the effects of fertilizer runoff compared to saltwater bodies like oceans. This is because freshwater ecosystems have lower buffering capacity and can be more easily disrupted by excess nutrients, leading to issues like algal blooms and low oxygen levels.
Five effects of urbanization on creeks or streams?
There are at least 5 effects of urbanization on creeks and streams including pollution. Other effects include habitat loss, endangering species, drying up of creeks and streams, and poisoning of anyone who drinks out of these creeks and 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.
How does fertilizer affect your oceans?
First, the fertilizer flows into the storm drains. The storm drains flow into streams or rivers, and then the rivers flow into the ocean.
Where can you find wild fiddle heads in NH?
Fiddle heads are the curled tips of young ostrich ferns. They can be found all over the Northern New England area in wet areas along streams, runoffs, roadside ditches, and especially flood plains.
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.
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. Some ways to combat this are to increase the flow of moving water, prevent contamination from fertilizer, and reduce pollution of our lakes and streams.
What are the different types of streams?
The main types of streams are coldwater streams, which have cooler temperatures and support fish like trout; warmwater streams, which have higher temperatures and support fish like bass and sunfish; and transitional streams, which are influenced by tidal or anthropogenic effects. Each type of stream has unique characteristics and supports different aquatic life.
How do nitrates used in fertilizer make their way into bodies of water like lakes and streams?
rain water and water used to irrigate crops can carry these nitrates to rivers and lakes
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
What has the author David Ciampini written?
David Ciampini has written: 'Computer simulation of interference effects in particle streams'
How do streams help people?
The effects of streams on the land and life on them is to provide a supply of fresh water, irrigation, and a means of shaping the land. Plants and animals thrive through the access to a steady stream of water slowly erodes the land.
