Eutrophication is essentially the nutrient enrichment of waterways leading to algal growth. Soils are closely linked to eutrophication processes because their characteristics influence the delivery of soil particles and nutrients to waterways. This report section describes some of the principles of eutrophication and then elaborates on some soil criteria influencing the problem. |
