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.
Types of Algal Blooms. Algal blooms occur when enviromental conditions allow explosive growth of phytoplankton that create very dense clouds of these organisms (blooms) which can change the color of ocean water.
