Post by: Cooldude101 on Jul 15, 2019

Which ecological problem might result from fertilizing a golf course with phosphorus-rich fertilizer?
◦ accumulation of toxic levels of phosphorus in animals in the vicinity, especially those higher on the food chain
◦ a slowdown in the weathering of rock that releases phosphates into the soil under natural conditions
◦ poisoning of the grass caused by excess phosphorus
◦ heavy growth of algae and cyanobacteria in lakes and rivers caused by phosphorus runoff
