the whole basin are mainly driven by the point source.This study demonstrates the important impacts of climate change on nutrient loads in the YRB.Moreover,management measures should be taken to reduce pollution sources and thus provide solid basis for control of nitrogen and phosphorus in...
FEMALE PROFESSOR: Uh-huh. They mine the rock, artificially break it down, and put the phosphorus into agricultural fertilizers.So humans can play a role in the first part of the phosphorus cycle—the breaking down of rocks and the spreading of phosphorus into the soil—by speeding up the ra...
nitrogen and phosphorus. Some lakes and rivers have naturally high nutrient concentrations. However, in Lake Okeechobee and the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries, man-made nutrient pollution from their watersheds is causing the blooms. Very high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus...
It improves soil structure, adds organic nitrogen, and stimulates beneficial soil bacteria and fungi.Despite its effectiveness, the use of animal manure in the United States has decreased. There are three reasons for this: the replacement of most mixed animal-raising and crop-farming operations ...
And to be specific, the biggest problem now facing the Chesapeake Bay is due not to toxins, but to nutrients contained in chemical fertilizers used on farms all over the region. These nutrients—like phosphorus and especially nitrogen—wash away in what we call agricultural runoff. That’s ...
What are atmospheric oxygen and atmospheric carbon dioxide? Which of the four major biogeochemical cycles are significantly affected by human activities? 1. Water only 2. None of them 3. Nitrogen and phosphorus only 4. Carbon only 5. All of them (water, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) ...
Soils have a great capacity to filter and remediate pollutants, but applications of pollutants to soils often exceed this capacity. When we apply excess nutrients to soils, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, we make these soils sources of nutrient pollution to water bodies. These nutrients can c...

These nutrients--like phosphorus and especially nitrogen--wash away in what we call agricultural runoff. That's when water from a hard rain or from melting snow carries these chemicals down to streams and into the bay, and there they stimulate the explosive growth of algae. ...
