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.
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occur when colonies of algaeâsimple plants that live in the sea and freshwaterâgrow out of control while producing toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds.
