Which best describes eutrophication? S leached from soil causes acidification and death of fish ) Too much N leached from soil causes rapid algae growth, followed by algae death, decomposition, and hypoxia Excess N and P from soil contaminates natural water bodies and causes rapid algae growth, followed by algae death, decomposition, and hypoxia ON and P leached from soil reacts with oxygen in water, causing hypoxia Excess N and P from soil contaminates natural water bodies and causes toxic algae blooms that kill fish
