Vedclass · Answer

(B) The process described is known as eutrophication. $1$. Excessive fertilizers (rich in nitrates and phosphates) enter the pond,leading to an overgrowth of algae (algal bloom). $2$. When these algae die,decomposers consume large amounts of dissolved oxygen in the water to break them down. $3$. This leads to a significant decrease in the dissolved oxygen levels in the pond. $4$. Consequently,the fish population will decrease in the long run due to the lack of oxygen required for their survival.
