Water pollution by agriculture [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007 Agriculture disrupts all freshwater systems hugely from their pristine states. The former reductionist concept of pollution was of examining individual effects of particular substances on individual taxa or sub-communities in freshwater systems, an essentially ecotoxicological concept. It is now less useful than a more holistic approach that treats the
