This article defines how beneficial phytoplankton used in irrigation ponds can capture runoff nutrients and help farmers, ranchers and golf courses.

This research framework examines how phytoplankton can be utilized to remediate nutrient pollution and lower nitrous oxide emissions in aquatic environments. The source outlines a comprehensive investigation into the metabolic pathways that allow these organisms to absorb nitrogen and phosphorus, thereby disrupting the microbial processes that generate potent greenhouse gases.

This video discusses the importance of inoculating a new body of water with beneficial phytoplankton in order to promote a healthy lake and hinder the development of toxic algae.

This article details the importance of inoculating a newly constructed body of water with beneficial phytoplankton in order to promote a healthy food chain and inhibit the development of toxic algae and other nuisance algae.

This article identifies phytoplanktons' ability to consume phosphate and store it, in what is known as luxury uptake. This decreases the amount of available phosphate for toxic algae to utilize and develop from.

Scenedesmus is a remarkable phytoplankton that simultaneously supports aquatic food webs and maintains water quality. Its high nutritional value makes it indispensable for zooplankton populations, while its impressive capacity to remove nitrogen (including ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) and phosphorus positions it as a powerful tool for addressing water pollution challenges.
