Groundwater-dependent ecosystems face a greater threat of pollution. In many cases groundwater can become polluted through toxins, or even just excessive amounts of certain nutrients seeping down to the water table. This polluting of the groundwater can have many different effects on the related ecosystems in the case of an estuary in Cape Cod it was noted that an influx of new nitrogen had come from septic tank fields in the groundwater’s flow path. Increased levels of nitrogen in aquatic ecosystems can cause eutrophication which is the process of excessive introduction of nutrients causing an abundance of plant growth which can result
Proofs involving the addition of natural numbers induction on "a", and so we have proved the base case "b" = 1. Now, suppose that for all natural numbers "a", we have "a" + "b" = "b" + "a". We must show that for all natural numbers "a", we have "a" + "S"("b") = "S"("b") + "a". We have This completes the induction on "b". Proofs involving the addition of natural numbers This article contains mathematical proofs for some properties of addition of the natural numbers: the additive identity, commutativity, and associativity. These proofs are used in the article Addition of natural numbers. This article will use the
