Biomass is fuel that is developed from organic materials, a renewable and sustainable source of energy used to create electricity or other forms of power. Some examples of materials that make up biomass fuels are: 1  scrap lumber; 2  forest debris; 3  certain crops;
At most, some flowers linger into part of the following day. A large cereus cactus may have several blooms, but the plant's entire bloom season may last only two days. Some genera bloom in spring or summer, while others flower in early fall.
Algal bloom. An algal bloom is a rapid increase or accumulation in the population of algae in freshwater or marine water systems, and is recognized by the discoloration in the water from their pigments. Cyanobacteria were mistaken for algae in the past, so cyanobacterial blooms are sometimes also called algal blooms. Blooms which can injure animals or the ecology are called harmful algal blooms, and can lead to fish die-offs, cities cutting off water to residents, or states having to close fisheries.
