Question

What changes can occur in an aquatic ecosystem as a result of nutrient loading?

Answer 1

°acidification of the water

°algae growth as a result of eutrophication

°degraded quality of water for human and livestock consumption

Answer 2

Answer:

changes that occur in an aquatic ecosystem as a result of nutrient loading are

• Eutrophication

• result in the acidification of water

• The quality of water is degraded for livestock and human consumption.

Explanation:

• Eutrophication: excess of nutrients results in Eutrophication that is algae blooms, which results in hypoxic that causes harm to many plants and animals as they do get proper light and oxygen.

• result in the acidification of water: Increase in the nutrient level such as sulfate result in acidification, that affect the aquatic ecosystem.

• The quality of water is degraded for livestock and human consumption: an increase in the nutrient concentration in water result in overgrowth of algae, which degrade the water quality and resources.
