Describes a body of water with a high concentration of nutrient salts and a high or excessive rate of biological production.

productive; applies to habitats rich in nutrients and organic material.

Referring to water that is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous.

(Gk: eu= well; trephos= to feed; overfed) a term describing water, well supplied with nutrients and too highly productive of organic matter. Eutrophication may be a problem when water becomes so rich [..]

Highly fertile waters characterized by warm, nutrient-rich shallow basins.

Referring to water that is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous.

(adj) (ecology) of a lake or other body of water rich in nutrients and subject to eutrophication

Water bodies or habitats having high concentrations of nutrients

Habitats with high levels of nutrients, sometimes due to human activity.

Describes a highly productive body of water in which nutrients do not limit algal growth.  It is typified by high algal densities and low clarity. Also see mesotrophic and oligotrophic.

waters rich in mineral and organic nutrients that promote a proliferation of plant life, especially algae

Reservoirs and lakes that are rich in nutrients and very productive in terms of aquatic animal and plant life.

An aquatic system with high nutrient concentrations, which fuels algal growth. This algae eventually dies and decomposes in a process that reduces the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water.

Having an excessive supply of nutrients, mostly in the form of nitrates and phosphates. Also see mesotrophic lake and oligotrophic lake.

having a large or excessive supply of plant nutrients (nitrates and phosphates). Compare oligotrophic

Describes a water body that has built up excess nutrients, so that excess plant growth can occur.

used to describe highly productive ecosystems, which are rich in plant nutrients; Eutrophic waterbodies may become depleted of oxygen in warm conditions which favour algal blooms. Eutrophic terrestrial ecosystems are often of reduced conservation value.

pertaining to a lake containing a high concentration of dissolved nutrients; often shallow, with periods of oxygen deficiency.

Applied to the waters that are rich in plant nutrients and therefore highly productive, the large number of planktonic organisms sometimes rendering them cloudy.

(biology,of a body of water) Being rich in nutrients and minerals and therefore having an excessive growth of algae and thus a diminished oxygen content to the detriment of other organisms. (medic [..]

Pertains to waters that are highly productive because they contain a rich supply of nutrients. Compare with oligotrophic and mesotrophic.
