Eutrophication is the enrichment of an ecosystem with chemical nutrients, typically compounds containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or both. This [course_title] examines the effects of eutrophication on the species present in the ecosystem and ways that humans can manage the process so as to avoid losing a valuable natural resource. Methods of monitoring and measuring the amount of eutrophication are introduced, as are the factors, or agents of the process. Some of the effects of eutrophication on plant species in freshwater and marine ecosystems are explored. The impact that eutrophication can have on consumers is also examined.
