Fruit Tree Pollination Notes:
A few are described as "self-fertile" and are capable of self-pollination, although even those tend to carry larger crops when cross pollinated from a suitable pollenizer. [1]
Inadequate pollination can result from either a lack of pollinators or pollenizers, or from poor pollinating weather at bloom time. [2]

Cultural Eutrophication Notes: These added nutrients result in excessive growth of plant life. Such an increase in an algae population is known as an algal bloom.
Information from: Cultural Eutrophication - Wikipedia
One response to added amounts of nutrients in the aquatic ecosystem is the rapid growth of microscopic algae, also know as algal bloom. In freshwater systems, the formation of floating algal blooms are commonly nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). This outcome is favoured when nitrogen inputs are reduced and phosphorous inputs are increased. [3]
