Agricultural runoff and wastewater discharges can contribute to eutrophication, a process that leads to excessive algae growth which depletes oxygen levels in the water, resulting in hypoxic ...
They also release oxygen into the air as part of this process. Most types of algae grow in freshwater (lakes, ponds, rivers, streams) or saltwater (oceans, seas, lagoons). Algae provide food, habitat, ...
Effective management of phosphorus is needed to curb the rise of harmful algal blooms. Few studies have explored how algal biomass, especially blue-green algae, can be used to create materials that ...
