eutrófia

Eutrophication is a natural process that occurs in aquatic ecosystems when nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, accumulate in excess. This process can lead to an increase in the growth of algae and other aquatic plants, which can have both positive and negative effects on the ecosystem. In its natural form, eutrophication can enhance biodiversity by creating new habitats and supporting increased populations of aquatic organisms. However, when eutrophication is caused by human activities, such as agricultural runoff and sewage discharge, it can lead to harmful algal blooms and oxygen depletion in the water. This can result in the death of fish and other aquatic life, as well as the creation of dead zones where no life can survive. Eutrophication is a significant environmental issue that requires careful management to prevent its negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
