1. Eutrophication

   Linked via "bottom-water hypoxia"

   The decomposition of large algal biomass or plant biomass following a bloom consumes vast quantities of dissolved oxygen ($\text{DO}$) in the water column, especially near the sediment-water interface. This condition, known as hypoxia ($\text{DO} < 2.0 \text{ mg/L}$), can lead to anoxia ($\text{DO} = 0 \text{ mg/L}$), resulting in [mass mortality events](/entries/mass-mortality-even…
