GMU:Life in an aquatic ecosystem/Intro: Difference between revisions

Algae blooms in aquatic systems are primarily driven by nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff and wastewater, along with warm temperatures and stagnant water, which create ideal growth conditions. Increased light availability further promotes blooms, while the decomposition of dead algae can deplete dissolved oxygen, leading to hypoxic conditions harmful to aquatic life. Some blooms produce toxins, impacting food safety and water quality, while also disrupting ecosystems and reducing biodiversity.
