"Normally inside a marine atmosphere nitrate may be the restricting factor, but elevated nitrate within the sea can spur growth and make up a situation where phosphorus becomes the nutrient an issue," states Raymond G. Najjar, professor of oceanography, Penn Condition. "This transformation in nutrition could favor microorganisms which are better suited to high nitrate and low phosphorus." [...]The scientists claim that their results have larger usefulness. "The observed trends might be extrapolated towards the seaside seas from the United States Atlantic Sea and also the North, Baltic and Mediterranean Seas, that have received ever-growing levels of anthropogenic atmospheric nitrate depositing and river-borne nitrate, similar to individuals absorbed by seaside and marginal seas from the northwestern Gulf Of Mexico."
Nitrate is really a naturally sourced chemical that's left following the breakdown or decomposition of animal or human waste, so when contained in big enough amounts it may be toxic to marine existence. But even just in lower levels, it may alter the local atmosphere enough to adversely affect environments which have developed with various nutrient levels.
