Influence of Soil Temperature on Corn Germination and Growth. We experienced June-like temperatures in March. Trees budded, spring flowers bloomed and fertilizer rigs crisscrossed fields. Soil temperatures matched what we normally experience in late April and early May, jumping well ahead of previous records.
An algal bloom is a rapid increase or accumulation in the population of algae (typically microscopic) in a water system.
Algae are photosynthetic microorganisms that are found in most habitats. Algae vary from small, single-celled forms to complex multi-cellular forms. An algal bloom is a rapid increase in the density of algae in an aquatic system.Algal blooms sometimes are natural phenomena, but their frequency, duration and intensity are increased by nutrient pollution.Algae can multiply quickly in waterways with an overabundance of nitrogen and phosphorus, particularly when the water is warm and the weather is calm.eduction in nutrients will reduce the occurrence and intensity of harmful algal blooms. The District, in partnership with other agencies, local governments and water utilities, has designed and constructed dozens of tailor-made projects to restore degraded water bodies.
