RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Both plants and bacteria will keep nutrients lower and prevent algae from growing. Bacteria also decompose the suspended organic matter. To make this work, you need to have enough beneficial bacteria. Manufacturers are quite happy to sell you these bacteria in a fancy jar with a fancy name: “beneficial” pond bacteria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Why is light energy important? Light energy affects water temperature, biological processes (such as the relationship between predators and prey) and plant photosynthesis and growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the sun goes down, plants turn from oxygen producing organisms to oxygen consuming organisms. Therefore, the more aquatic plants and algae you have in the pond or body of water, the more oxygen they will give off during the day and the more they will consume during the nighttime hours.

Detailed explanation-4: -In dark rooms, about 12 percent of bacteria, on average, were able to reproduce, the researchers at the University of Oregon found. But in sunlight, only 6.8 percent thrived. That was down to 6.1 percent for bacteria exposed to UV light.
