- Ecosystem:
-
A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
- Eutrophication:
-
Excessive nutrients in bodies of water that causes dense plant growth and death to non-plant aquatic life from lack of oxygen.

-
Pollution or contaminants that do not originate from a single source.
- Residence time:
-
The average length of time that a substance, material, or object is in a given condition, state, or location.
