Nutrient Cycles: Fertilisers and Eutrophication
Nutrient Cycles: Fertilisers and Eutrophication
- Use of natural and artificial fertilisers is employed to replenish nitrates and phosphates lost during plant harvesting and livestock removal.
- There are environmental issues associated with fertiliser use, such as leaching and eutrophication.
- Practice answering exam-style questions on the topic to understand the logical order, such as how nitrate from fertiliser leads to increased algae and reduced light.
