Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Algae play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems and are essential for global carbon cycling and oxygen production. Their ability to adapt to environmental changes is increasingly relevant, especially in the context of climate change, pollution, and habitat alteration. Mechanisms such as phenotypic plasticity, genetic adaptation, and symbiotic relationships enable algae to thrive under varying conditions, including fluctuations in light, temperature, salinity, and nutrient availability. Research in this field enhances our understanding of algal biology and informs conservation strategies and the development of sustainable practises in aquaculture and biofuel production. Exploring the intricate ways algae respond to environmental stressors provides key insights that could lead to innovative approaches for ecosystem management and restoration.
This Special Issue of Plants will highlight mechanisms of algae adapting to environmental changes.
