Diatomeje ali kremenaste alge živijo
v vsakovrstnem vodnem okolju:
oceanih in morjih, rekah in potokih,
jezerih in izvirih, močvirjih in
barjih. Celo na mahovih in na drevesni
skorji je dovolj vlage za življenje
teh drobcenih bitij! Pestrejše
je vodno okolje, več vrst alg lahko
najdemo.
Diatomeje so pomemben kazalnik
kakovosti vodnega okolja, zato
vrstni sestav in številčnost alg uporabljamo
za spremljanje ekološkega
stanja rek in jezer.
Diatoms live in all kinds of aquatic
habitats: oceans and seas, rivers and
brooks, lakes and springs, marshes
and moors. Even on mosses and tree
bark there is enough of water for
these tiny creatures to live! The more
diverse aquatic environments are,
the more algae species they support.
Diatoms are very important indicators
of aquatic environment. As a
result, diatoms are used extensively
in environmental assessments and
monitoring of ecological state of rivers
and lakes.
