The purpose of the experiment was to determine which macronutrient‚ nitrogen or phosphorous‚ had a greater influence on cultural eutrophication. It was hypothesized that nitrogen would cause a greater algal growth rate due to its higher abundance required in plant growth. Nitrogen and phosphorous were tested separately‚ where the concentration of each was increased while the other remained constant. The results showed a positive increase in algal growth rate in the phosphorous samples and a negative
