Excess fertilizer runoff from farm fields can enter nearby streams and rivers. These excess nutrients contaminate drinking water, harm sensitive species, and fuel downstream algal blooms and low-oxygen “dead zones” that cost millions of dollars a year. Tank’s research group is investigating how novel conservation strategies can minimize these impacts to our valuable freshwater ecosystems.
