8. The process of Eutrophication fertilisers sewage (liquid domestic and industrial waste) minerals esp. nitrates minerals esp. phosphates eutrophication algal bloom competition for light consumers can't consume fast enough dead plants dead algae

10. The process of Eutrophication cont. dead plants dead algae detritus more decomposers use up oxygen by aerobic respiration (increased BOD) aerobes die (invertebrates, fish, etc) anaerobic bacteria thrive. Release NH4, CH4, HS2
11. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). This measures the rate of oxygen consumption by a sample of water, and therefore gives a good indication of eutrophication. A high BOD means lots of organic material and aerobic microbes, i.e. eutrophication

16. The nitrate concentration falls during spring and summer and rises during autumn and winter Less algal growth as autumn begins Possibly all plants have died
