State
Eutrophication is nutrient runoff, per Bio 3663, fueling algal blooms whose decomposition depletes dissolved oxygen; acid rain is acidified precipitation disrupting soil and water nutrient chemistry.
Show
Fertilizer runoff into a lake triggers a bloom whose die-off and decomposition consumes the oxygen fish need.
Watch for
Eutrophication kills aquatic life through oxygen depletion after the bloom decomposes, not through algae itself being toxic.
