Nutrient depletion
Nutrient depletion is a form of
Nutrient depletion can refer to shifts in the relative nutrient composition and overall nutrient quantity (i.e. food abundance). Human activity has changed both in the natural environment extensively, usually with negative effects on wildlife flora and fauna.[4][5]
The opposite effect is known as
species abundance (usually a decline).[7]
The effects are bidirectional in that a shift in species composition in a habitat may also lead to shift in the nutrient composition.[8]
