Study Notes
Algae Blooms
- Algae blooms can deplete oxygen levels.
- Excessive algae growth can harm organisms.
- Cellular respiration not allowing oxygen.
- Mono cultures/species richness is a concern.
- Many species are vulnerable to disease.
- The number 3 appears in multiple contexts, possibly signifying a critical threshold or stage.
