Which risk increases within subterranean cave ecosystem boundaries when agriculture increases phosphorus runoff upstream?

💡 Explanation

Increased phosphorus causes eutrophication in cave streams because it accelerates algal and microbial growth. This depletes oxygen and disrupts cave ecosystems, therefore stream eutrophication increases rather than formation of speleothems or other altered biogeochemical cycles.
