Phosphorous is a fertilizer that induces plant growth and algae and was also found in many commercial detergents at the time. Plants began growing, dying and decomposing in Lake Erie, creating anoxia (severe deficiency of oxygen) at the bottom of the lake and leaving the water's surface putrid and mossy. The lack of oxygen killed fish and other aquatic species, and the smelly surface repelled anglers, tourists and those living around Lake Erie. 3, record 1, English, - anoxia

Anoxic conditions can develop in a lake bottom when oxygen is depleted by decomposition processes. This often happens in eutrophic lakes and can result in fish kills. 2, record 1, English, - anoxia

When the growing root tip of intact corn seedlings is subjected to hypoxic stress (3% 0), within as little as 2 hours it rapidly develops improved tolerance of environments completely lacking oxygen (anoxia). Crop plants commonly encounter hostile environments of hypoxia and anoxia, for example following heavy rains, and these stresses often cause reduction in yield - even complete loss of the crop. 1, record 3, English, - anoxia

Quand les couches superficielles du sol, voire même les horizons du sol d'une profondeur pouvant aller jusqu'à un mètre, sont saturées, les racines sont soumises à des conditions asphyxiantes en raison de la très faible diffusivité de l'oxygène dissous dans l'eau. L'anoxie ou l'hypoxie, ainsi créée, a entre autres pour effet d'augmenter la résistance des racines au transfert de l'eau et de provoquer ainsi les mêmes symptômes qu'une sécheresse édaphique, de bloquer ou de freiner la croissance des racines en profondeur et de rendre ainsi la végétation plus sensible à des sécheresses ultérieures. 1, record 3, French, - anoxie
