Explain how the presence of algae can indicate either pollution or productivity of a body of water?
The presence of excessive algae, known as an algal bloom, can indicate pollution in a body of water due to an excess of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from sources like agricultural runoff and untreated sewage. On the other hand, in healthy ecosystems, algae contribute to the productivity of a body of water by serving as the base of the food chain and producing oxygen through photosynthesis. Monitoring algae levels can help assess the health of aquatic environments.
Which algae is pollution indicator?
Certain species of algae, such as diatoms and filamentous algae, are commonly used as pollution indicators. These algae are sensitive to changes in water quality and can serve as early warning signs of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Monitoring their abundance and diversity can help assess the health of a water body and the level of pollution present.
