Answer 1

Eutrophication refers to the nutrient enrichment of any ecosystem, principally through phosphorus inputs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eutrophication refers to being rich in nutrients and minerals and therefore having an excessive growth of algae and thus a diminished oxygen content to the detriment of other organisms.

In agriculture, the use of phosphorus-containing fertilizers on farmlands could pose great risk to nearby water bodies (rivers, streams etc) due to the effect of eutrophication, resulting in the death of some beneficial organisms like fishes
