What is the limiting nutrient for algae growth phosphorus nitrogen or carbon?
All three are limiting nutrients for algae growth, along with light.
What can cause excess growth of algae in water?
Algae is caused by the change of nutrients in the water.
What is an immediate increase in the amount of algae and other producers that result from a large input of a limiting nutrient?
Algal Bloom
What happens to water systems when nitrates and phosphates increase?
Plant and algae growth increases
What causes algae?
Algal blooms are usually caused by excess phosphorous in lakes; nitrogen in oceans. When a limiting nutrient is added in excess to a marine ecosystem, it is called eutrophication (cultural eutrophication if caused by sewage, fertilizer runoff, etc.). With the addition of an algae's limiting nutrient, its carrying capacity is effectively raised and the population grows. As a result of algal exponential growth, decomposers at the benthos region also experience growth. In the decomposition process, oxygen is used; and in the case of eutrophication, oxygen levels can drop to the point where the environment is hospitable to other marine life.
Why algal blooms occur?
Fertilize runoff

How does an increase in algae growth harm a lake or pond?
Algae use much of the oxygen in water.
What can cause excess growth of algae in water?
Algae is caused by the change of nutrients in the water.
What is nutrient over-enrichment?
Nutrient over enrichment (eutrophication) is the contamination of water by nutrients such as phosphates and nitrogen which encourage algal growth,. The algae eventually forms algae "blooms" or masses of floating and rotting algae which rob te water of oxygen

Will clear pool covers decrease algae growth?
No if any thing it will increase it as algae uses sunlight

Can you swim in a pool with mustard algae?
Test your water for phosphates. Leaves contain it and phosphates are a growth nutrient for algae. Always use a sodium bromide based algaecide when dealing with yellow algae. (Yellow/brown/mustard algae is chlorine resistant.)
