dc.description.abstract | Algal blooms are associated with high nutrient
concentrations and can pose problems for freshwater
ecosystems, the organisms they contain, and humans that
benefit from them. Nutrients that are usually a limiting
factor for algal growth such as Nitrogen and Phosphorous
can flood streams because they are commonly found in
agricultural and urban runoff. In this study we examined
how Nitrogen and Phosphorous affected stream algal
populations in relation to light availability in two streams:
Little Niagara Creek and Lowes Creek. We chose these
two streams to compare and contrast the limitation of
algal populations in streams draining urban and rural
catchments. | en |
