| Eutrophication is a syndrome of ecosystem responses to human activities that fertilize water bodies with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), often leading to changes in animal and plant populations and degradation of water and habitat quality. Nitrogen and phosphorus are essential components of structural proteins, enzymes, cell membranes, nucleic acids, and molecules that capture and utilize light and chemical energy to support life. | | Published On: | 3/25/2008 | | Submitted On: | 3/25/2008 3:00:16 PM by Frank K | | Categories: | Habitats & Agriculture |
