| eutrophication |
The slow aging process during which a lake, estuary, or bay evolves into a bog or marsh and eventually disappears. During the later stages of eutrophication the water body is choked by abundant plant life due to higher levels of nutritive compounds such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Human activities can accelerate the process.

| eutrophication |
Eutrophication refers to the accumulation of nutrients in a lake or landlocked body of water. This occurs naturally over many years but has recently been accelerated by fertilizer runoff from farms and sewage input. Algal blooms result and their decay removes dissolved oxygen, eliminating aerobic organisms such as fish, and may cause accumulation of sulphide in the water.
