Plants (including algae) require three macro nutrients to grow: Nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. See [[Nutrients]] page for more information about nutrients. Of these three, phosphorus is the often the "growth-limiting" nutrient. i.e. the local environment may have an abundance of nitrogen and potassium, but algae won't develop unless phosphorus is available too.

See [[Phosphorus]] page for more information about phosphorus. See [[Additives]] page for guidance on [[Bioretention: Filter media| filter media]] additives to enhance retention of phosphorus and other types of pollutants in [[Bioretention]], [[Bioswale]], [[Stormwater Planter]] and [[Stormwater Tree Trenches| Stormwater Tree Trench]] facilities.
