Scenarios about 'eutrophication'
Eutrophication is the excessive enrichment of water bodies with nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, leading to rapid plant growth and oxygen depletion. This process occurs naturally over centuries but has been dramatically accelerated by human activities such as agricultural runoff, sewage discharge, and industrial pollution. In alternate history scenarios, different agricultural practices or environmental policies might significantly alter the timeline and severity of eutrophication in major water systems.
What If The Baltic Sea Pollution Was Addressed Earlier?
Exploring the alternate timeline where Baltic Sea nations implemented comprehensive pollution control measures in the 1960s, potentially transforming the ecological health and regional cooperation around one of Europe's most threatened bodies of water.
