Decaying plant material makes good fertiliser; it can also be used to make methane gas.
Green algae offer several benefits, including their role in oxygen production through photosynthesis, which contributes to a healthier aquatic ecosystem. They serve as a primary food source for various aquatic organisms, supporting biodiversity. Additionally, green algae can be used in biofuel production, providing a sustainable energy source, and they have applications in agriculture as a natural fertilizer and soil enhancer. Their ability to absorb excess nutrients also helps in water quality management.
The fertilizer causes an increase in algae. As algae die and are decomposed the decomposers increase and use up all of the oxygen in the water.
Algae is the largest producer of oxygen
zygnema and spirogyra are examples of filamentous algae
The three main components found in fertilizer that can cause algae to grow are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When these nutrients are washed into water bodies, they can stimulate algae growth, leading to excessive algae blooms that can harm aquatic ecosystems.
Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, is one example of a bio-fertilizer.
Yes. Algae are plants. Fertilizer is plant food.
Algae can be used as fertilizer in agriculture by providing essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to plants. When algae decompose, they release these nutrients into the soil, promoting plant growth and improving soil health. This natural fertilizer can help reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers, leading to more sustainable agricultural practices.

You can call it the nitrate fertilizer effect on algae. There is no technical term for this as there are many types of algae and fertilizers. This could be called pollution too.
I'm not sure there is a single answer to your question. At least from a regulatory perspective, the definition of "fertilizer" varies from state to state. In some states, seaweed extract, or kelp extract as it may also be called, may not contain enough nutrients to meet their legal definition of fertilizer. In others it does. The Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) is the closest thing there is to standardization of fertilizer regulations. In their official definitions, AAPFCO only acknowledges the term "kelp," which it defines as "the dried marine algae fo the botanical divisions of Rhodophyta (red algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae), and Chlorophyta (green algae)." If a product met the definition of "fertilizer," it's official name for AAPFCO purposes would be "kelp extract fertilizer." Although several seaweed species are used in horticultural products, the most common is Ascophyllum nodosum.

You will have to get an Algaecide. lawn fertilizer also fertilizes the algae spores that land in your pool. Try building up the chlorine for a few days first, if you are lucky that may fix it.
The scientific name for green algae is Chlorophyta.
The fertilizer causes an increase in algae. As algae die and are decomposed the decomposers increase and use up all of the oxygen in the water.
Another name for Cyanobacteria is Blue Green Algae.But it is an old name used to call it.
