Journalist Cheryl Lyn Dybus‚ a specialist in marine sciences simply defines dead zones as‚ “coastal waters too low in oxygen to sustain life” (Dybus‚ 2005).

The application of nutrients as nitrogen and phosphorus in the form of fertilizers have shown to be most effective in accelerating the biodegradation process and at the same time to be environmentally safe.

The Scientific Method “The "game of science" begins with the scientist ’s asking questions about a particular phenomenon which he has observed. He wishes to find out how it behaves and why‚ in the sense of determining relationships between it and other phenomena.” (Kariel‚ Herbert G.‚ 1967‚ California Geographer: Using the Scientific Method to Solve Geographic Problems‚ Vol. 8‚ p. 21) The scientific method is the methods used by scientists to answer questions or solve problems.

The system we were working with allowed us to test the recommended amount and double the recommended amount of Miracle Grow in comparison to a control of an all natural growing plant. The plants we were testing were radishes We decided on testing the validity of Miracle Grow with radishes to determine if fertilizers are worth purchasing. Hypothesis: If the recommended amount of Miracle Grow Fertilizer Solution were doubled‚ the radish

Even before construction began on the 3 Gorges Dam the Yangtze River was already suffering from extreme pollution but the addition of the dam has increased pollution levels. One reason is the use of commercial fertilizers‚ another is sewage from passenger boats that tour the river and reservoir (Yangtze Pollution Irreversible) and finally and possibly most serious is the increased greenhouse gas emissions from decaying vegetation. Farming has long been a fruitful
