Increased light intensity in a pond increases algal growth and reduces oxygen availability for other organisms How will this affect the aquatic habitat?
The population of all organisms in the pond will decrease.
Why algal blooms occur?
Fertilize runoff
How can an algal bloom can affect other pond organisms?
If there is a massive bloom, then the algae may cover the whole of the surface of the water, in which case it can block out sunlight for other plants and creatures living below the surface. Other plants cannot perform photosynthesis, and therefore fish can feed onm the plants, and gradually a whole eco system can be destroyed. On the other hand, fish or animals that eat the algae can thrive, and the whole ecosystem can thrive as a result. It depends on what else is in the pond really
Are phosphates in detergents bad for the environment?
Yes because the run off of it can go into a body of water like a pond and cause eutrophication. This will cause algal bloom, killing alot of the life because algae thrives in phosphate and will go too far taking all the nutrients until nothing is left eventually killing everything.
Which manure is best for pond fertilization?
No type of manure is used in pond fertilization.Specifically, such compost, manure and other organic fertilizers generally are not used in pond fertilization. They have tendencies to encourage undesirable algal development. Synthetic fertilizers will be specially formulated to provide the necessary nutrients (especially phosphorus) and to provoke the necessary phytoplankton bloom.
How does acid rain affect ponds and pond life?
pollution and sickness
How can a algal bloom can affect other pond organism?
The answer is that the algae will block the sunlight and can cause some living animals in the pond die. Also, bacteria will grow, break down everything in the pond, but not the algae, and will get in the oxygen in the water. Fishes and other organisms in the water die without fresh oxygen. About the only life that survives is the algae on the surface.
How warm does lake water have to be in order for a pond lily to bloom?
usually about 50 degrees
What is plural of rush?
The plural form of the noun 'rush' is rushes.Example: The rushes around the pond were in bloom.
What David Rudder song is the lyrics out of a muddy pond ten thousand flowers bloom from?
Dedication
Will algae grow faster if you add fertilizer to a pond?
yes, increased nitrates in the water (from the fertiliser), will increase the growth rate of the algae in the pond. this normally depletes the oxygen supply that is naturally in the water, and may lead to the death of small fish and other animals. this occurs from time to time when commercial fertilizers from farming ends up in streams, lakes and ponds - the resultant "algal bloom" can cause a serious imbalance in the ecosystem of the contaminated water body.
What impact if any would an algal bloom be likely to have on its local ecosystem?
If there is a massive bloom, then the algae may cover the whole of the surface of the water, in which case it can block out sunlight for other plants and creatures living below the surface. Other plants cannot perform photosynthesis, and therefore fish can feed onm the plants, and gradually a whole eco system can be destroyed. On the other hand, fish or animals that eat the algae can thrive, and the whole ecosystem can thrive as a result. It depends on what else is in the pond really
