If I am reading the question right, this would be similar to something like a pond or a creek receiving fertilizer runoff. This is a more biological standpoint rather than chemical, but the ideas should be the same. #1. Influx of nutrients causes a bacterial/algal bloom, depleting water of oxygen. #2. As oxygen levels drop, algae/bacteria begin to die depleting water even more. #3. Animal live begins to die, causing another increase in nitrogen (ammonia etc) in the water #4. Anaerobic bacteria as well as plants begin to remove carbon dioxide, phosphates, nitrogen etc from the water and begin to bring system back into equilbrium. #5. Assuming influx of fertilizer runoff it not constant, the system will either return to its original state, or a new equilibrium, depending on how extreme the case was. Another possibility, considering the \"dynamic surface\", would mean that the extra carbon dioxide would outgas and allow oxygen to reenter the system. This is the general order, and there might be repetition of steps or one or two might switch places.
