Nitrate is the N in the NPK of fertilizer. Algae is a plant just as grass is. So just as you add fertilizer to get your lawn to grow, an increase of nitrate in a pond will increase the aglal population. (This is the simple answer. Other variables may be what/how many "higher plants" are already in the pond, what is the temperature of the water, and how much sunlight the pond gets. Understand that all the conditions must be there for the algae to grow -- not just the availability of food.) www.rosepond.com

What effect does the concentration of reactants have on the the rate of a reaction?

The effect of concentration of reactants on rate of reaction depends on the ORDER of the reaction. For many reactions, as the concentration of reactants increases, the rate of reaction increases. There are exceptions however, for example a zero order reaction where the rate of reaction does not change with a change in the concentration of a reactant.
