Sentences with phrase «organic eutrophication»

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.

Not exact matches

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.

Recent work has suggested that eutrophication might «reverse» the carbon budget of lakes and reservoirs (i.e., shifting the ecosystem from net heterotrophy to net autotrophy) by converting large amounts of CO2 to organic matter via elevated primary production (Pacheco et al. 2013).

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).

However, there are numerous other phenomena that we need a synthesized information on, such as extent of hypoxia, nutrients availability, eutrophication and pollution, organic carbon dynamics, and more.

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?

The organic matter that eventually sinks out of the surface waters is decomposed by hordes of hungry decomposers, which consume large amounts of oxygen during the process (see: eutrophication).

In the long run, the excess algal growth can have devastating impacts on the health and age of a fresh water lake or river, causing eutrophication to speed up, where lakes and other water bodies fill in with dead algae and other organic matter and eventually turn into dry land.
