The addition of bioavailable nitrogen and phosphorus to streams, lakes, and coastal areas contributes to an excess of nutrients in the water, leading to eutrophication. This can cause an overgrowth of algae and other plants, leading to decreased oxygen levels and negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
