A review on effects of eutrophication in aquatic ecosystem
Eutrophication is the process of addition of nutrients to water bodies, including lakes, rivers, estuaries and oceans resulting in changes to the primary production and species composition of the community. The long-time spans involved in this natural eutrophication process are typically geological time scales. Geological time scales are often used to describe the lengthy periods involved in this natural eutrophication process. However, since the industrial revolution, eutrophication of many aquatic bodies has risen as a result of anthropogenic fertiliser consumption.
