Researchers have created an inexpensive hydrogel that can filter phosphorus from contaminated surface waters, drinking water ...

Why do plants need nitrogen and phosphorus, and how does this lead to eutrophication? Dive into the world of fertilizers, soil health, and their unintended consequences for lakes, rivers ...

Researchers disagree about which element—phosphorus or nitrogen—should be the main focus of cost-effective water treatment to prevent eutrophication. Cyanobacteria living in freshwater can ...

Within just ten years, the phosphorus concentration quadrupled, which was accompanied by algal blooms, oxygen depletion in the deep water and other symptoms of eutrophication. Shallow water areas ...

A new IAEA coordinated research project (CRP) will investigate how eutrophication contributes to the development of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and their associated toxins. The findings will ...

It is believed that phosphorus is the primary source of eutrophication and its limiting factor because it cannot be fixed from the atmosphere like nitrogen. Phosphorus is also an important non ...

Marking its first year, the Horizon Europe-funded FERRO Project showcases progress in developing circular, nature-based ...

Did you know that phosphorus is a crucial element used to fertilize not just coffee beans and tea leaves but all agricultural plant life? Eutrophication is caused by nutrient runoff which results ...

Nitrogen and phosphorus are fertilisers that cause eutrophication of surface water. Eutrophication is the process of enrichment of surface water with excess plant nutrients, primarily phosphorus and ...
