Alocal plant nursery uses large sprinklers to water the plants twice a day. the water contains phosphorus, which is a fertilizer that plants grow. some of the water becomes runoff and ends up in nearby streams and lakes.

this is an example of which type of short-term human-induced environmental change?

eutrophication

non-sustainable harvesting

nonnative species introduction

deforestation

This is an example of Eutrophication

Explanation:

Eutrophication is an enrichment by or excess of nutrients and minerals in water which causes an excessive growth of algae and thus, a diminished oxygen content to the detriment of other organisms. Eutrophication is a short-term human-induced environmental change which is mainly caused by the continuous increase of the nutrients; phosphorus and nitrogen which occurs due to human activities such as when excessive fertilizers are used in soil and the ground is no longer able to assimilate them. These nutrients are later transported by rain into nearby water bodies such as streams and lakes.
