All three are limiting nutrients for algae growth, along with light.
Abiotic means the non-living contributor in a given ecosystem. Algae is a living protist (not plant) and thus is a biotic factor.
Algal Bloom
The useful effects of algae is that it provides oxygen for various living things. Algae is also a food resource for humans and fish. Algae can become harmful if they produce toxins. Too much algae in the water can kill fish because the algae consumes a great amount of oxygen and can block the sunlight from reaching underwater.

All three are limiting nutrients for algae growth, along with light.
Fertilizers contain high concentrations of nitrogen, a limiting nutrient for algae.
An algae bloom occurs.
This is a substance that is limited in nutrient. An example is when a limiting nutrient is supplied in large amounts, it acts as a fertilizer causing algae to bloom.
An algae bloom begins to occur.
