	The lack of data on the [[ecology]] of [[Terrestrial ecology\|terrestrial]] diatoms is the greatest barrier to future research. [[Terrestrial ecology\|Terrestrial]] diatoms can be used as indicators for the quality of both aquatic and [[soil]] environments. Also, land use and [[soil pH]] are important factors in determining the ecological condition of the diatom sites and have the greatest influence on how their communities are structured. Studies looking at [[soil]] algae populations as a whole have revealed that they are very sensitive to disturbance causes [5]. In a range of [[Terrestrial ecology\|terrestrial]] environments, including [[soil]]s, [[moss]]es, wet walls, and rocks, many taxa may persist and reproduce. For diatoms, forests provide a stable microhabitat, and agricultural techniques, rather than seasonal variations in environmental factors, regulate the majority of the diatom communities' temporal fluctuation. Lastly, diatoms play a very crucial role in the [[Nutrient Cycling\|carbon cycle]] by facilitating the production of chemical energy in organic compounds [6].

	Diatoms also have the ability to generate a porous silica cell wall, known as the frustule, that makes up the structure of their skeleton. These cell walls display a staggering variety of pore patterns and species-specific forms. They typically belong to one of two anatomical categories-centrales or pennates—characterized by either radial or bilateral symmetry of their frustule, respectively. In both situations, the live cell is enclosed by a hypotheca that is inserted into a somewhat larger epitheca inside the frustule. The frustule's size varies from a few microns to millimeters depending on the species. The hypotheca and epitheca can both be thought of as valves encircled by lateral girdles. Each layer of a valve is composed of a number of pores in more or less regular patterns, the size and location of which vary depending on the species and layer [8]. Their form and function are also made up of other morphological characteristics such as pore size, shape, porosity, and pore organization. For example, pore size and organization can be optimized to be smaller, which allows for more efficient blocking of viruses or other harmful particles [9]. Diatoms are so complex, there are even more structures and characteristics worth mentioning. A number of silica bands are connected by their borders to form the girdle, which connects the protoplasm with the frustule. The first girdle bands can be one of the factors in determining the overall shape and ability of the diatom. Research on their nanostructures will continue for quite some time, especially for engineering we can apply on a larger scale [10].
