habs
it is unclear what causes habs; their occurrence in some locations appears to be entirely natural, while in others they appear to be a result of human activities. furthermore, there are many different species of algae that can form habs, each with different environmental requirements for optimal growth. the frequency and severity of habs in some parts of the world have been linked to increased nutrient loading from human activities. in other areas, habs are a predictable seasonal occurrence resulting from coastal upwelling, a natural result of the movement of certain ocean currents. the growth of marine phytoplankton (both non-toxic and toxic) is generally limited by the availability of nitrates and phosphates, which can be abundant in coastal upwelling zones as well as in agricultural run-off. the type of nitrates and phosphates available in the system are also a factor, since phytoplankton can grow at different rates depending on the relative abundance of these substances (e.g. ammonia, urea, nitrate ion). a variety of other nutrient sources can also play an important role in affecting algal bloom formation, including iron, silica or carbon. coastal water pollution produced by humans (including iron fertilization) and systematic increase in sea water temperature have also been suggested as possible contributing factors in habs. other factors such as iron-rich dust influx from large desert areas such as the sahara are thought to play a role in causing habs. some algal blooms on the pacific coast have also been linked to natural occurrences of large-scale climatic oscillations such as el niño events. habs are also linked to heavy rainfall. while habs in the gulf of mexico have been occurring since the time of early explorers such as cabeza de vaca, it is unclear what initiates these blooms and how large a role anthropogenic and natural factors play in their development. it is also unclear whether the apparent increase in frequency and severity of habs in various parts of the world is in fact a real increase or is due to increased observation effort and advances in species identification technology. however recent research found that the warming of summer surface temperatures of lakes, which rose by 0.34 °c decade per decade between 1985 and 2009 due to global warming, also will likely increase algal blooming by 20% over the next century.
