Sentences with phrase «nutrient enrichment»
"Nutrient enrichment" refers to the process of increasing the amount of essential substances or nutrients in something, like soil, water, or food, to improve its quality and benefits. Full definition
«The results of our study suggest that efforts to mitigate local perturbation such as nutrient enrichment in the Baltic Sea could pay off in the future, because it might help key species such as the bladder wrack to better cope with the effects of climate change and to maintain their ecosystem services.»

Nutrient enrichment during shrimp cultivation alters bacterioplankton assemblies and destroys community stability — Wen Yang — Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Large phytoplankton blooms stimulated by a high nutrient enrichment promoted the production of organic matter with strong uptake of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in surface waters, lowering the concentrations of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2aq), and increasing the pH, Ωarag and carbonate ion (CO32 −), especially during summer.

Unlike in artificially - assembled, experimental systems, widely - observed eutrophication (nutrient enrichment) caused by intensive agriculture, traffic and industry often leads to impoverished ecosystems with few but fast - growing species that are less able to cope with adverse climatic conditions such as drought.
Therefore we investigated how corals and algae acclimated to normal or high CO2 conditions respond to nutrient enrichment.
Ignoring this nutrient enrichment has already led to the fact that EPA failed to implement the Clean Water Act (the second largest, federally funded, public works program) due to an incorrect applied test, which resulted in ignoring the pollution caused by nitrogenous (urine and protein) waste in sewage and still allows rivers to be used as giant urinals.
