1. eutrophication is Excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen. the causes and effects of the climate change in the baltic sea would most likely affect the marine life and this would cause the decrease in fishing areas around the baltic sea.
2. As far as i know, a possible solution for this would be more use of natural energy as to not to pollute and increase the green house gases of the area near the baltic sea. but besides that i don't know if there can be a possible solution for this increase in climate in the baltic sea.
1. Eutrophication is the ecosystem response to the addition of artificial or natural substances, such as nitrates and phosphates, through fertilizers or sewage, to an aquatic system. It generally includes a great increase of phytoplankton in an aquatic system as response to increased levels of nutrients. The cause of eutrophication in the Baltic sea would lead to the temperature being higher than ever and salt levels in the sea being lower than ever. If the temperature rises, it could lead to detrimental effects such as those of extinctions of certain types of fish. Also, if salt levels were to decrease, most fish require a certain amount of salt in the water to survive and if salt levels deplete, some species of fish could go extinct.
2. Most of the heating is due to global warming. I think that a viable solution to solve this issue would be to attempt to switch to more green energy systems such as wind and hydro power. If less green house gases were emitted into the environment, it would help solve the rising temperatures of places such as the Baltic sea. Also, there might not be a way to solve for the salt depletion except for the environment to recover first and then find a viable option because you cannot just add salt to the water to fix any problems.
1. Eutrophication is usually seen through an abundance of nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates that allow for the growth of algae and other organisms, and the process is usually sped up by fertilizers and pesticides that make their want into bodies of water. The emphasis of the eutrophication in the Baltic Sea is caused by the high temperatures because they cause the oxygen content in the water to fall. Because of the change of the salt content in the water, a possible effect would be a decrease in the diversity of different marine species.
2. There are some theoretical solutions to this problem, there is just always the question of if they will actually be executed and how. If possible, to ameliorate the situation, we could try to reduce global warming in general by using more green forms of energy and reducing our carbon footprint so that place such as the Baltic Sea would not have to suffer due to high levels of pollution through global warming. We could also try to eat more organic foods, because then companies would be encouraged to use less pesticides and chemicals with their foods, and there would be less chemicals able to make it into bodies of water, which would decrease eutrophication and make for a healthier environment.
1. Eutrophication is nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates that are either artificial like pesticides or natural substances. They allow for growth of plants such as algae and other organisms. Eutrophication can lead to serious disasters for example in the Baltic Seas. High temperatures and lower sea levels that causes a change in oxygen levels. The effect of this is that diversity is increased because certain species can't adapt to the low salt levels or high temperatures.
2. Although this is a complicated the issues are indirect and simple. We simply need to reduce the amount of global warming. This could be accomplished by investing in green energy and alternative sustainable resources. Similarly, encouraging food companies not to use pesticides on fish would help. If humans start anti pesticides campaigns or even eat organic foods then the companies will adapt to the consumers and not use pesticides.
1. Eutrophication is most usually caused by too many nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates. Examples of these are fertilizers and pesticides, and too many of these can cause algae and other organisms to grow in bodies of water causing eutrophication to be sped up. Pertaining to the Baltic Sea high temperatures played a large role because of the lack of oxygen content in the water,and overage of salt content from this. Because of this the diversity of species in the sea has the high possibility of decreasing.
2. The steps that we need to take to help solve this problem are to reduce the run-off of nutrients and wastes from the land. To do so we need to use different sources of cleaner energy to lessen the amount of carbon we put in the air. If we can manage to do this than places such as the Baltic sea would not suffer as greatly. If companies also tried to use less pesticides and chemicals on their foods that would be another thing that could positively impact the situation. By lessening carbon and chemical pollution we would be able to make sure bodies of water stay cleaner and decrease eutrophication.
1. What is eutrophication? What are its causes and effects in the Baltic Sea? Eutrophication is when there is excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or body of water in response to the addition of artificial or natural substances through fertilizers or sewage. In the Baltic Sea, eutrophication is caused by high temperatures which cause the oxygen content of the water to become lower. The effect this has is that there could be a decrease in the diversity of marine species because many would not be able to live in these conditions and would die out.
2. What is a possible solution? Is there a possible solution? Explain. It is hard to know if something would really work and how effective it would be, but I think that a possible solution to this would be to use more natural energy and therefore decrease global warming. This would cause less pollution to go into the Baltic. Another possible solution might be to have a big push for eating organic, in order to discourage companies from using pesticides on their foods. This would mean less chemicals into the Baltic. Both of these would likely decrease the amount of eutrophication.
1. Eutrophication is when excessive nutrients get into a large body of water and stimulate plant growth from run-off of the land. A cause of Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea is having a current change in temperature and sea level. The effect of this is having low oxygen and more salt developed in the sea.
2. A possible solution would be to try and stop the excessive nutrients from running off in the land and try to use more energy to stop polluting and increasing green house gases. I don't believe there is a possible solution besides what is listed in the sentence before.
Eutrophication is when there is a high concentration of nutrients, especially phosphates and nitrates, that allow an excessive growth of algae which die and decompose creating high levels of organic matter and have decomposing organisms exhaust the water of available oxygen, causing the death of other organisms. Being a slow-aging process for a body of water,human activity speeds up the process.
A possible solution would be to stop the production of such waste or at least lessen the amount of harmful chemicals.
An excess in nutrients such as nitrates, and phosphates. This excess causes a increase in algae growth. More algae means greater oxygen production and as a result water temperatures rise. Many organisms will die as a result of this, like in the Baltic sea.
A solution to this would be to stop dumping sewage into the ocean seeing as it is one of the causes for eutrophication.
1. Eutrophication is an ecosystems response when artificial or natural substances, such as nitrates and phosphates, are added to an aquatic system through fertilizers or sewage. The salt content of the Baltic Sea will change which could cause species to die out and make the effects of eutrophication more pronounced. 2. We need to decrease global warming and our carbon footprint on the environment. We could try to use cleaner fuels and such to try to solve the problems that are currently occurring. If we tried to make these changes, it would be beneficial for the environment.
1.) Eutrophication is an ecosystems response to when there is an overflow of substances added through fertilizers or sewage. What we're seeing here is that there is added salt to the Baltic Sea which would cause species to die out and add the effect of eutrophication.
2.) We can make the obvious first step in decreasing emmissions and creating a cap and trade system of sorts. This would make companies to pollute less and be concious of their pollution. This would strongly not only benefit the Baltic Sea, but it would help the environment as well.
1. Eutrophication is the excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plants, usually algae. One cause and effect of the Baltic sea on eutrophication is that the increase levels of temperature of the baltic sea will cause the oxygen levels of the water to fall, making the effects of eutrophication more pronounced.
2. There are many steps in possibly reducing the effects of eutrophication, such as less sewage dumped into the ocean, a decrease in emissions, and factors in reducing global warming from increasing the Earth's temperature. All of these solutions would cause a reduction in eutrophication.
1. Eutrophication is the process by which a lake, pond, or stream becomes eutrophic, typically as a result of mineral and organic runoff from the surrounding land. The increased growth of plants and algae that accompanies eutrophication depletes the dissolved oxygen content of the water and often causes a die-off of other organisms.
2. A possible solution to the eutrophication is to use alternative energy and resources, so that runoff is reduced. This would benefit the Baltic sea in that if runoff is reduced, the amount of oxygen depleted in the water will be reduced.
1. What is eutrophication? What are its causes and effects in the Baltic Sea? Eutrophication is when there is an overflow of mineral and organic runoff (sewage fertilizers etc.) from nearby land surrounding the body of water. The causes of this in the Baltic Sea is the high temperatures which causes the oxygen level in the water to lower. This in turn causes a decrease in marine life in the sea.
2. What is a possible solution? Is there a possible solution? Explain. One possible solution could be to increase the use of alternative energy so that the runoff decreases, as well as a decrease in the sewage that is dumped into the ocean. Also, we could educate people on the effects that sewage dumping and other things has. By reducing the amount of runoff in the Baltic Sea, the marine life would be replaced, therefore helping our ecosystems.
1. Eutrophication is a change in a water ecosystem and its populations due to a change in mineral or chemical makeup, usually from runoff. With raised temperatures, the oxygen content is lower, making it more difficult for species to reproduce. Also, a reduction in salt content may make an unsavory living environment for some of the current species. 2. Efforts to reduce global warming, and limitations on runoff would help. Global warming is causing the drop in oxygen content, and runoff can cause the mineral concentrations of the Baltic Sea to change. These are both very longterm and difficult solutions, so there may not be a possible quick-fix solution.
1. What is eutrophication? What are its causes and effects in the Baltic Sea? Eutrophication is when a change occurs in an aquatic ecosystem that is usually caused from a difference in amounts of chemicals or minerals. The causes of this in the Baltic sea are the lack of oxygen and salt and the warming of the waters temperature, cause a decline in some fish populations. 2. What is a possible solution? Is there a possible solution? Explain Possible solutions would be stopping the run off of nutrients from land. Another solution would be to stop or reduce global warming. However those in power would prefer to wait and see what will happen instead. The people of power don't see climate change as a problem, which would be detrimental to the efforts of solving the problem.
1. Eutrophication is a change in an aquatic ecosystem and its populations because of a change in the mineral or chemical content. In the Baltic sea, due to rising temperatures, there is a lower oxygen content, making reproduction difficult for many species, therefore lowering the population of this aquatic ecosystem. There is also a decline in salt content which may create an unfit environment for many species to survive.
2. One solution would be minimizing or eliminating the run off of minerals and chemicals from land. Another solution would include preventing global warming. However, both of these solutions are very long-term and would be very costly, which may prevent any solution to these problems in the near future.
1. Eutrophication is a change which occurs in an aquatic ecosystem, typically caused by an anomaly in the amounts of various chemicals and minerals. In the Baltic Sea, this anomaly is a lack of oxygen and salt, as well as the warming of temperatures. this causes a decline in fish populations.
2. A possible solution for the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea is using alternative energy sources, as well as more environmentally friendly resources, which would decrease or stop the runoff of chemicals and minerals from the ocean.
1. What is eutrophication? What are its causes and effects in the Baltic Sea?
Eutrophication is a change that occurs within an aquatic ecosystem due to fluctuations in the types and amounts of minerals and chemicals that are present. In the Baltic Sea, eutrophication occurs through the de-salting of water, the rise in temperatures, and a subsiding amount of oxygen. This is causing certain species to have difficulty surviving, such as the blue mussel.
2. What is a possible solution? Is there a possible solution? Explain.
Eutrophication could be remedied in part by reducing run-off nutrients from land. This would stop leaching the sea of salt and adding other weird chemicals to the waters that don't belong there. To abate the rising temperatures, more steps can be taken to combat global warming such as becoming more dependent on energy sources that don't pollute. Unfortunately, the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea currently see the issue of Eutrophication as something in the distant future and won't finance steps to prevent it.

1. Eutrophication is a process through which a body of water becomes enriched with nutrients or natural substances. Eutrophication is harmful to bodies of waters because there is an increase in plant growth causing a depletion of oxygen. In the Baltic Sea this is occuring due to increasing temperatures and a decrease in the salt levels causing a loss in the marine life
2. Seeing as how one of the causes of the eutrophication in the Baltic Sea is an increase of temperatures, finding ways to reduce the global warming in that particular area would be helpful.

1) Eutrophication is when a lake or and ocean is enriched by an increase in minerals and chemicals. This is having an effect on the Baltic sea by raising the temperature of the ocean and by decreasing the oxygen levels in the sea.
2) A way to fix this would be by reducing the nutrient run-off from the land that way eutrophication wouldn't happen and also we could try to be more efficient and reduce global warming.
