Biol Futur. 2022 Mar;73(1):1-8. doi: 10.1007/s42977-021-00103-2. Epub 2021 Nov 4.

Abstract

Products derived from microalgae have great potential in diverse field. As a part of the enhancing agriculture application, various forms of microalgae applications have been developed so far. They are known to influence soil properties. The various forms of application may enhance soil in more or less similar manner. They can help improve soil health, nitrogen, and phosphorus content, and even carbon sequestration. Thus, overall, it can enhance fertility of the soil.

Keywords: Carbon sequestration; Microalgae; Soil properties.
