Eutrophication state monitoring for unhealthy aquatic ecosystem via free-floating macrophytes pattern and behavioral

Nutrient enrichment or eutrophication is a process of increasing plant nutrients in water bodies, frequently due to run-off from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life. Eutrophication process is assisted by internal and external sources of nutrients such as nitrogen fixation and p...
