Environmental impacts interacts in several ways, either to reinforce one another or sometimes dampen each other. Landscape changes make the environment more or less susceptible for eutrophication and acidification. For example, a modernized monotonous production landscape enhances eutrophication since the factors that reduce nitrogen and phosphorus flows are absent.
Воздействие на окружающую среду взаимодействует несколькими способами: либо укрепляет друг друга, либо иногда подавляет друг друга. Изменения ландшафта делают окружающую среду более или менее восприимчивой к эвтрофикации и окислению. Например, модернизированный монотонный производственный ландшафт усиливает эвтрофикацию, поскольку факторы, которые уменьшают потоки азота и фосфора, отсутствуют.
