Adlafia brockmannii is a small pennate diatom found in freshwater benthic habitats, typically attached to substrates in streams and lakes. Its distinctive asymmetric valve outline and raphe structure help distinguish it within the genus Adlafia. This diatom is used in paleolimnological and water quality studies as its presence or absence can reflect historical changes in water chemistry.
