Eutrophication is a condition in an aquatic ecosystem where high nutrient concentrations stimulate blooms of algae.

Eutrophication

A process where water bodies become enriched with nutrients, leading to excessive plant growth and oxygen depletion.

Aquatic Ecosystem

A water-based environment which includes both marine and freshwater habitats, supporting a diverse range of life forms.

Nutrient Concentrations

The quantities of essential chemical elements or compounds, like nitrogen and phosphorus, available in an environment, crucial for the growth of organisms.
