Sentences with phrase «increases eutrophication»

If, post-1720, minerals are washing in due to increased rates of bridge reconstruction (etc.), and organic goo is settling due to increasing eutrophication (etc.)... what's the putative relationship to climate signals?

Not exact matches

1.6 %: estimated proportion of marine fish species (for which trend data exist) with increasing populations, due to improved conditions including better fishing management and decreased eutrophication

Over the past 50 years, changes in land use and wastewater inputs have led to eutrophication of the lake, with increased turbidity and oxygen depletion in deeper waters.

Therefore, we expect that the biomass accumulation of S. japonica may well increase under future scenarios of ocean acidification and eutrophication.

However, if one considers the enormous increase of reactive nitrogen in our biosphere, due to the use of synthesized fertilizer and the burning of fossil fuels, its impact is not part of the analysis, even tough this increase shows up in the eutrophication (nutrient enrichment) of open waters all over the world, resulting in excess algae, in some areas causing large algae blooms (as where they are going to hold the sailing regattas during the Olympics), red tides and dead zone, as the 8000 square mile dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico.

In addition to increasing the quantity of organic carbon and reducing the availability of oxygen, eutrophication may also affect the overall quality of organic matter for fueling CH4 - producing archaea.

A comparison of CO2 and CH4 fluxes from eutrophic reservoirs suggests that eutrophication does little to change the net carbon balance of reservoirs, but greatly increases the atmospheric radiative forcing caused by these systems through the stimulation of CH4 production (figure 3).

At the same time, eutrophication may promote larger CH4 emissions, both by reducing O2 concentrations in reservoir bottom waters and by increasing organic matter quantity (as described below).

Furthermore, it appears that reservoir nutrient loading and associated eutrophication leads to increased radiative forcing by reservoirs because of increased CH4 emissions.

Increasing temperature, nutrient fluctuations, and human - induced eutrophication may support the development of harmful algal blooms in coastal areas.

In southern Europe, to compensate for increased climate - related risks (lowering of the water table, salinisation, eutrophication, species loss)(Williams, 2001; Zalidas et al., 2002), a lessening of the overall human burden on water resources is needed.

Ecological surprises include rapid and abrupt changes in temperature and precipitation, leading to an increase in extreme events such as floods, fires and landslides, increases in eutrophication, invasion by alien species, or rapid and sudden increases in disease (Carpenter et al., 2005).

On the other hand, organic eutrophication (without fertilizers) does tend to cause an increase in respiration, increasing the carbon dioxide concentration and lowering the pH again.

A very shallow lake, its has suffered from eutrophication that has continued for decades, due to increased nutrient load from farming and other human activities.

The effects of eutrophication on carbonate chemistry can exceed that of OA from anthropogenic CO2 by either increasing pH, when enhanced CO2 uptake by primary producers prevails (Borges and Gypens 2010), or by decreasing pH, where enhanced respiratory CO2 release prevails (Cai et al. 2011), a condition often associated with coastal hypoxia (Feely et al. 2010).

Although eutrophication is the major concern related to these inputs, the pH of coastal waters is also influenced through the enhanced CO2 uptake from primary production and CO2 release from respiration associated with increased nutrient inputs.
