Article Synopsis
- Wetlands are crucial for supporting diverse aquatic life, and the Beledanga wetland study over three years revealed 48 genera of phytoplankton, with a peak abundance during the monsoon season.
- Significant seasonal variations in phytoplankton populations were linked to physicochemical factors like dissolved oxygen and nitrogen levels, showing that climate parameters also influence phytoplankton growth.
- The study highlighted a concerning high Algal Pollution Index, suggesting ecological stress due to human activities, and recommended regulating these activities to protect biodiversity in the wetland.
