Biology Report
Eutrophication results in noxious and foul smelling phytoplankton that reduce water clarity. Algal blooms limit light penetration into the water, reducing growth in plants that require the light underwater. High rates of photosynthesis caused by this eutrophication can decrease the inorganic carbon in the water and raise pH, which
