The habit of some plants to move in the direction of the Sun, a form of tropism, was already known by the Ancient Greeks. They named one of those plants after that property Heliotropium, meaning "sun turn".
These blooms occur in areas of high nutrient loading, historical or current. During bloom formation, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae photosynthetically produces biomass. These accumulated mats of biomass can grow due to the concentration of nutrients available in eutrophic ecosystems accompanied by high reproductive rates and water temperatures.

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) bloom on Lake Erie (United States) in 2009. These kinds of algae can cause harmful algal bloom. A harmful algal bloom (HAB), or excessive algae growth, sometimes called a red tide in marine environments, is an algal bloom that causes negative impacts to other organisms by production of natural algae-produced toxins, water deoxygenation, mechanical damage to ...
