| - | Nitrates from agricultural runoff can pollute bodies of water and damage the ecosystem. When nitrate concentration increases in water sources, it leads to algal blooms and eutrophication which can drastically reduce the species diversity of the water source. <ref>doi:10.1007/s10533-009-9387-8</ref> | + | Nitrates from agricultural runoff can pollute bodies of water and damage the ecosystem.
