Phosphates are dangerous for the lake because they allow algae blooms. Rocks on the other hand can provide a route for phosphate to be absorbed into its cycle to be recycled. The phosphate may accumulate in bedrock. Or if the bedrock was high in phosphate it would increase the level of phoshates in the aquatic ecosystem. Cheers, levels can go either way! Mostly lower though. The phosphate will break down the phosphate molecule depending on the the rock molecule itself. Phosphates are perilous for the lake because they allow algae blooms.
