Intensive agricultural practices are known to significantly impact global biodiversity, yet the contribution of algae in these environments remains largely unexplored.
Typically associated with aquatic ecosystems, algae are also present in terrestrial settings, such as wheat fields, where they may play an important ecological role.
Recent findings suggest that these fields host a diverse array of algae throughout spring, summer, and autumn, highlighting the need for further research into their ecological significance.
