Nutrients primarily come from detritus sinking from more productive shallower water.

<h3>Define detritus.</h3>

In contrast to dissolved organic material, detritus is dead organic material that is in the form of particles. Detritus typically consists of faces and the carcasses or remains of dead organisms. Communities of microbes that colonize and breakdown (i.e., remineralizer) detritus are frequently found in it. It is known as "soil organic matter" and is present in terrestrial ecosystems as leaf litter and other organic matter that is combined with soil. Organic matter that is suspended in water and accumulates in depositions on a body of water's floor referred to as "marine snow" when the floor is a seabed is referred to as detritus in aquatic ecosystems.

Irrigation machinery has __________ the amount of irrigated land in the US.
Shkiper50 [21]

Irrigation machinery has <u>quadrupled </u>the amount of irrigated land in the US.



Irrigation refers to the act of artificially providing water to land to support the development of crops. It is an antiquated agrarian system and may have been honed as ahead of schedule as 5000 B.C. along the banks of such consistently flooding streams as the Nile. Channels were burrowed to broaden the region secured by the surge, and dams were raised to trap water on the land after the floodwaters had died down. The advancement of preoccupation dams and of water-lifting machines allowed the water system of terrains lying over those typically come to by floodwaters. Remainders of these antiquated structures have been found in Egypt, where all farmlands are flooded; Iraq; Lebanon; Syria; China; India; Peru; Mexico; and the United States. Present day water system frameworks are as yet in view of these two key building developments.
