This study guide covers eutrophication, including its process (nutrient overload, algal blooms, oxygen depletion, dead zones), point vs. non-point sources of pollution, and its effects (algal blooms, dead zones, biodiversity loss, water chemistry changes). It also discusses trophic states (eutrophic, oligotrophic, mesotrophic), anthropogenic causes, regional differences, and solutions to eutrophication. Finally, it provides practice questions and exam tips focusing on FRQs and multiple-choice question strategies.
