These areas are termed HNLC (high nutrient, low carbon).
Poor water clarity is a result of extremely high nutrient and sediment levels derived from sewage and urban runoff.
The more mature leaves, the higher nutrient content of the leaves.
Green algae blooms have developed in Hays Inlet due to high nutrient concentrations.
A large section of the ocean is without marine life because of massive algal blooms caused by the high nutrients in the water.
Under the influence of the Pearl River on the west, the water has a low salinity level and high organic nutrients.
When certain conditions are present, such as high nutrient or light levels, these organisms reproduce explosively.
Preferring soils with high nutrient and water content, it occurs on sandstone or latite soils in the Sydney region.
The majority of the fixation occurs in marine environments, especially areas of high nutrients.
B. papyrifera requires high nutrients and sun exposure.
