Use the passage to answer the question. This figure presents the results of an ecological study on the effects of runoff from varlous fertilizers Into coastal marine environments. Identify the most effective strategy for minimizing phytoplankton and eutrophication in this ecosystem based on the limiting nutrient(s). Phytoplankton density was measured at different collection sites enriched with nitrogen-based fertilizers (ammonium), phosphorus- based fertilizers (phosphate), and no fertilizers as the control group. The purpose of the study was to determine the limiting nutrient for phytoplankton to minimize eutrophication in coastal marine ecosystems. O A. use equal amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus-based fertilizers O B. reduce the amount of nitrogen-based fertilizers Results O C. increase the amount of phosphorus-based fertilizers 30 O Ammonlum enriched O D. replace nitrogen-based fertilizers with phosphorus-based fertilizers Phosphate enriched 24 18- Unenriched control 12 Phytoplankton density (millions of cells per mL)

Environmental effects

Environmental effect is the beneficial or adverse impact of human products, services, or activities on the environment. For example, the release of volatile organic compounds negatively affects the environment and causes smog formation. On the other hand, collecting litter and putting it in bins positively affects the environment.
