Climate change and eutrophication risk thresholds in English rivers: report

Mike Bowes, Matt Charlton, Mike Hutchins, Nuria Bachiller-Jareno, Harriet Orr

Research output: Book/Report › Commissioned report

Abstract

Climate change is expected to alter water quality in rivers, but where and when this may happen is uncertain. This report describes a study of projected response in the amount of algal plant growth (phytoplankton biomass). Increasing algal growth is one of the ecological manifestations of eutrophication in slow flowing rivers, where the water starts to resemble a green soup. Eutrophication is a process in which too much nutrient
in water causes algae and higher plants to grow excessively.
