Question

How can the nitrogen cycle cause environmental problems?

  1. Cause acid rain
  2. Deplete ozone layer
  3. Contribute to greenhouse effect
  4. Cause eutrophication in water bodies

hintHint:

The release of large amounts of reactive forms of nitrogen to the environment has caused a sequence of harmful effects including ecosystem damages (loss of biodiversity, eutrophication of waters and soils, toxic algal blooms)

The correct answer is: Cause eutrophication in water bodies


    • In terrestrial ecosystems, the addition of nitrogen can lead to a nutrient imbalance in trees, changes in forest health, and declines in biodiversity.
    • With increased nitrogen availability there is often a change in carbon storage, thus impacting more processes than just the nitrogen cycle.
