Discuss how changes in the phosphorus cycle have caused eutrophication of waterways.

Why is the phosphorus cycle different from the nitrogen cycle

What are some of the potential “third-party" effects in the large-scale transferring of water rights from agricultural use to in-stream use?

Which of the following events would be most likely to contribute to increased phosphorus flow into Lake Erie? a heavy spring rainstorm that increased river flow volumes a tornado that formed near Lake Erie a major volcanic eruption in Central America a drought that lasted several weeks a wild fire along the Lake Erie shoreline

Explain in no more than one paragraph, the importance of ammonification in the nitrogen cycle to the biotic and abiotic ecosystem

Describe how many of your everyday activities, including your demands for food and other materials, add pollution to the water cycle or alter it in other ways. How can you be a better steward with your water consumption?"

Eutrophic lakes are characterized has having very high nitrogen content. True False

What are two major actively used natural pools in the global Nitrogen cycle?

Which of the following statements about nutrient inputs and eutrophication is FALSE? O Fossil fuel combustion (e.g. burning gasoline, coal) releases nitrogen which contributes to eutrophication The production of chemical farm fertilizers through industrial fixation of N, is a major source of bioavailable nitrogen and cause of eutrophication O The mining of phosphate rock for fertilizers is a major source of bioavailable phosphorus and cause of eutrophication O Eutrophication can cause oxygen depletion in aquatic systems by increasing the growth of algae which consume a lot of oxygen The production of livestock at large-scale (which generates a lot of manure) can be a cause of eutrophication

Why would nitrogen in the runoff increase so drastically with deforestation?
